New CEO at hospital-at-home company backed by Mayo, Kaiser unknown

A hospital-at-home company backed by Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic and Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente has a new chief executive.

Medically Home, which counts several health systems as clients, named Graham Barnes its president and CEO. He replaces co-founder Rami Karjian, who heads to an advisory role at the company. Mr. Barnes has led multiple private equity- and venture capital-backed health tech firms to successful exits.

"His track record of growing and nurturing healthcare companies gives us deep confidence in his ability to elevate Medically Home and build on the strong market position that has been achieved to date," said Maneesh Goyal, chair of Medically Home and COO of Mayo Clinic Platform, in an Aug. 1 statement. "We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rami Karjian for his dedication and leadership bringing Medically Home to where it is today."

Medically Home has grown into one of the largest hospital-at-home logistics and technology vendors, serving over 40,000 patients to date. Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente invested about $100 million in the company in 2021.
