HealthCentral Appoints Justin Chase as Chief Executive Officer

Experienced Healthcare Media Executive to Drive Integration of AI and Data to Create Personalized, High-Impact Experiences for Patients and Providers

NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthCentral, a leading digital health platform serving patients living with chronic and serious illness, today announced that Justin Chase has joined the company as its Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Steve Zatz, who will be stepping down from his roles as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Chase brings over 20 years of health media experience and a proven track record of driving innovation and growth in the industry. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President of Media at EVERSANA. Prior to that, he was the Executive Vice President of Media and Innovation at Intouch Group. While at Intouch Group, he established and built an industry-leading paid media group, which provided biopharma customers with innovative solutions to activate patients and providers, before leading the business through its acquisition by EVERSANA in 2021. Previously, he served as Chief Digital Officer at Makovsky, where he developed strategies for clients in the financial services, pharmaceuticals and technology sectors. He has also held senior roles at leading media and advertising groups, including Hypertonic, Attention and Fluent.

"The modern media landscape, inclusive of content creation, consumption and engagement, is being transformed by Artificial Intelligence," said Mr. Chase. "But even in the face of great change, patients and physicians still want to engage with one another and consume medically relevant, validated content. That has always been the HealthCentral value proposition, and I only see this becoming stronger through the integration of AI and the distribution of social media. Today's audiences expect – and deserve – a unique and highly personalized health experience. To that end, HealthCentral has helped millions of patients, caregivers and clinicians navigate the medical landscape, and with our exceptional editorial capabilities, top-tier technology team and robust dataset, I am confident we are poised not just to compete but to lead in this new AI era."

"Working with such a passionate, dedicated team over the past three years has been a privilege," said Mr. Zatz. "Together, we navigated a rapidly changing healthcare media landscape and through collaboration, creativity and determination delivered award-winning content that educates and supports patients and the clinicians who care for them. I am confident HealthCentral is well-positioned for continued success under Justin's leadership."

HealthCentral board member Nick Amigone added, "Justin brings tremendous passion for both HealthCentral's business and the patients and clinicians who rely on its content to inform their healthcare decision-making. His strategic focus on technological innovation, understanding of evolving trends in the consumption of health information and vision for enhancing HealthCentral's engagement with patients and clinicians in today's digital era will benefit all health-seeking audiences. I look forward to working closely with Justin to realize that potential across the company's entire portfolio of leading and highly successful brands."
