Deirdre Saulet, PhD, joins Jasper Health as Chief Strategy Officer

Brings Deep Expertise in Healthcare Strategy to Accelerate Jasper's Mission to Improve the Cancer Care Experience

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jasper Health, a leading oncology care platform, is proud to announce that Deirdre Saulet, PhD, has joined its executive leadership team as Chief Strategy Officer. In this new role, Dr. Saulet will lead the development and execution of strategic initiatives that support the company's growth, enhance partnerships, and expand access to comprehensive, tech-enabled cancer care navigation.

Dr. Saulet brings a distinguished background in healthcare strategy, innovation, and transformation; most recently serving in leadership roles focused on oncology service delivery, value-based care, and digital health integration. Her unique combination of academic rigor and practical healthcare experience will support Jasper Health's vision to make the cancer journey less overwhelming, more connected, and ultimately more human. 

"Deirdre's passion for transforming oncology care aligns perfectly with our mission," said Erich Mounce, CEO of Jasper Health. "As a truly patient-centric company, her career-driven passion will be instrumental in advancing our work with patients, health plans, providers, and employers as we scale our personalized cancer care model."

Cancer is a growing burden on the US healthcare system, as diagnoses and costs continue to increase. While treatment innovations create the benefit of more cancer survivors, they also lead to increased spending and a survivorship population with diverse needs that the healthcare system does not yet adequately manage. Even with provider investment in patient-centered care, gaps in supportive care services exist.

Jasper Health offers a full-service platform that blends human-centered guidance with digital support to help individuals affected by cancer navigate every step of their journey. The company's core offerings include symptom tracking, one-on-one patient navigation and psychological support to help cancer patients receive focused, personalized care and help them stay out of the Emergency Department or hospital.

Jasper partners with risk-bearing entities to develop innovative payment models that help control the cost of cancer care. In these models, Jasper collaborates with payers and oncologists to create risk-based arrangements and help manage costs across the continuum of care, from suspicion of cancer through survivorship.

Patients and families have 24/7 access to Jasper Health Counselors, who support care planning, appointment tracking, symptom management, and curated educational content. Integrated behavioral health coaching supports mental and emotional well-being during and after treatment, and caregiver support tools ensure loved ones are also empowered and informed.

"I'm honored to join Jasper Health and contribute to a company that is truly reshaping cancer care," said Dr. Saulet. "More than a decade ago I left the lab to focus on cancer care delivery, provider strategy and payment models. My passion for changing how we support people with cancer – specifically when it comes to their psychosocial needs - and how we pay for cancer care in this country led me to Jasper. Our innovative platform and commitment to whole-person support are making a real difference in people's lives, and I'm excited to help scale that impact."

Dr. Saulet holds a PhD in Immunology and has authored multiple publications on value-based care and oncology innovation, as well as currently serving on the steering committee for the Clinical Pathways Congress+Cancer Care Business Exchange. Her appointment reflects Jasper Health's continued investment in leadership that drives thoughtful, evidence-based growth.
