way for our clients to deliver a digital-first approach to
healthcare, Dr. Horner will provide valuable insight to our clients
on executing an effective virtual care strategy that fosters
patient engagement while closing gaps in care, access and
quality.”
Horner joined AMG in 2016

practiced family medicine for 25 years. She also spent more than a
decade as a board member for Helping Children Worldwide, where she
counseled the non-profit on health-related programming for children

“As a physician, I
understand the challenges that clinicans and care teams face
everyday in their quest to provide quality healthcare. I believe in
the power of technology for improving the care experience for all,
and as an enabler of hybrid care delivery, Amwell is uniquely
positioned to lead the charge,” Horner said. “I’m eager for the
opportunity to partner with our clients to drive their digital care
