        I have known and worked directly with Aaron Crane over the last 4 years as he served as CEO of Propel Health.  He and I worked closely together as my roles included: (a) chair of the Quality & Health Maintenance committee and (b) Propel Health board member.  Aaron is bright, articulate and driven. His understanding of healthcare finance is both deep and broad--including a remarkable understanding of the new financial models associated with ACA.  His vision of Population Health strategically couples the business paradigm with clinical and operational initiatives--thus rewarding clinical excellence with financial success.  His leadership style is transformational--demonstrated in several ways.  First, he has successfully defined and inspired a vision. Second, he leverages a multi-pronged approach to create alignment--ultimately delivering the vision.  Third, he sets both high expectations and clear goals.  Lastly, he has worked hard to develop relationships which withstand challenging circumstances.  In short, Aaron brings a track-record and level of excellence which inspires those who work beside him and any company would be lucky to have him leading their efforts.
