"Teresa's track record of innovation and her experience addressing social determinants of health will be critical as we expand Solera's curated network model, which has shown its effectiveness in helping scale the diabetes prevention program nationwide. Clark will be critical in supporting Solera's strategic focus on innovation to address the highly fragmented community space."

"I am honored and delighted to join Solera, the nation's premier platform for individuals to manage their health and wellbeing once they leave the doctor's office," said Clark.
