MVP Health Care, a Schenectady, N.Y.-based not-for-profit health plan, has promoted Denise Gonick to president and CEO, replacing David Oliker who last summer announced his intention to retire.
Since that announcement, Gonick has served as president of operations and led preparations for MVP's participation in a state health insurance exchange in January 2014.
"Our number one goal is to help make the communities we serve healthier—that encompasses many coordinated strategies, including preparing to participate in the forthcoming state health insurance exchanges, increasingly leveraging data and informatics, expanding our presence in the Medicaid and Medicare Advantage markets, and building on our culture of customer-service excellence," Gonick said in a news release.
Gonick joined MVP in 1995 and worked in the legal department before being named executive vice president of administrative services and chief legal officer. She previously worked in the legal department at Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
