Eric Van Horn at the Helm of Mobile Healthcare Solutions

In a strategic move to enhance mobile healthcare services, Priority OnDemand, a prominent national company specializing in healthcare services and medical transportation, announced on February 3, 2025, the appointment of Eric Van Horn as the Chief Executive Officer of its subsidiary, OnDemand Visit. This division is dedicated to pioneering innovative mobile healthcare solutions that synergize emergency medical services with preventive in-home care.

Van Horn is stepping into this key role with a wealth of experience in home-based care and healthcare innovation. Prior to this, he served as the Chief Growth Officer for Optum's Home & Community division, particularly following Optum's acquisition of Landmark Health, a company Van Horn co-founded.

OnDemand Visit is designed to unify both emergency and non-emergency healthcare experiences through inventive programs that promote superior patient outcomes and lower costs. By integrating its extensive Emergency Medical Services (EMS) capabilities, the organization aims to deliver personalized care to patients, ensuring they receive assistance the moment they need it most, whether for emergencies or ongoing wellness.

Expressing his enthusiasm for this new challenge, Van Horn remarked, "This is an exciting opportunity to merge this network of healthcare providers alongside mobile health technology to transform healthcare delivery. EMS providers have an earned trust and respect in the community and can reach patients wherever they are. Combine that insight with technology for virtual care and Priority's 24/7 integrated medical group, and we can improve access for our most vulnerable populations, whether in dense urban centers or rural healthcare deserts."

Priority OnDemand's CEO, Bryan Gibson, echoed this sentiment, stating, "Everyone talks about improving access. We know that this model can deliver it. Eric's background building successful home-based care models and scaling operations makes him uniquely qualified to lead OnDemand Visit. His expertise is the right fit to take the tools and staff in place and deploy them strategically for success."

Van Horn's career includes co-founding Landmark Health, which specialized in offering in-home medical attention to patients with complex chronic health issues, where he held the position of President and Chief Business Officer. His prior tenure as Senior Vice President and General Manager of CareMore Health Plan saw him guiding product-line growth and network management until the company's sale to Anthem.

With deep roots in the EMS and healthcare fields stemming from a family background of nurses, paramedics, and EMS leaders, Van Horn brings a valuable perspective to this role. His introduction to Priority OnDemand came through his work as an advisor on the Operating Council for Consonance Capital Partners, an investment partner with the healthcare company.

Van Horn emphasizes the shift in approach he aims to champion—"Ambulance companies have customarily been reactive to patient needs. We want to extend patient touchpoints beyond traditional emergency responses, adding proactive preventive care."

A graduate of the University of California, San Diego, with a degree in Quantitative Economics and Decision Sciences, he also holds an MBA in Operations from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.
