DALLAS, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Care Continuity, a leader in patient navigation and care logistics management, today announced the executive appointments of Chief Growth Officer Jim Bogdan, Chief Operations Officer Brad Prugh and Chief Strategy Officer Kyle Callahan. 

"We at Care Continuity are excited to advance within the healthcare patient navigation space through the recent additions of Jim, Brad and Kyle, who have decades of combined experience across healthcare, operations, client services and product innovation," said Andrew Thorby, founder and CEO, Care Continuity.
