Nest Health, Creator of Whole-Family In-Home Care for Medicaid, Names Peter Morrison First Chief Growth Officer to Lead Multistate Expansion

Former UnitedHealthcare, Centene and Pair Team leader joins as Nest strengthens its leadership bench for scale

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nest Health, the creator of whole-family, in-home primary care for families on Medicaid, today named Peter Morrison its first Chief Growth Officer. Morrison has worked on both the health plan and care delivery sides of Medicaid. He will lead Nest's growth into new states and deepen its health plan partnerships in Arizona and Louisiana. Nest currently serves more than 50,000 Medicaid members across both states.

"Families don't experience healthcare one person at a time. A mom's blood pressure, her baby's checkup and her teenager's anxiety are connected, but the system splits them across separate doctors and separate charts. We built Nest so the household is the patient, and Peter is the right leader to bring that care to the families who need it next," said Dr. Rebekah Gee, Founder and CEO of Nest Health.

Nest is a new category of in-home care. It is the family's full primary care provider, not a referral layer or navigation service, and it cares for every family member from birth through adulthood in a single visit. No other provider does both.

Morrison brings more than 15 years of experience across the Medicaid ecosystem, from health plans and state agencies to care delivery startups. Most recently, he was SVP of Strategy and Head of Growth at Pair Team, an AI-enabled medical group serving Medicaid and Medicare populations, where he led state expansions and payer growth through value-based contracts. Earlier, he held senior roles at UnitedHealthcare and Centene, advised state Medicaid agencies at Deloitte and served as Chief Strategy Officer at school-based care provider Goodside Health. At Nest, he will lead growth strategy and execution as the company brings home-based care to more states.

"For too long, the best healthcare in America has been reserved for those who can pay for it. Nest is changing that, bringing human-led concierge primary care into the homes of families on Medicaid. I joined Nest because families deserve this level of care, and the model delivers on the quality and cost outcomes that will allow it to scale nationally," said Morrison.

Morrison joins a leadership team Nest has expanded in recent months to support its next stage of growth, including an internal promotion to COO and new hires across product, marketing and people:

• Kelsie Brandt, MSN, RN, CPN, Chief Operating Officer. One of Nest's earliest leaders, Brandt joined nearly four years ago and led the build of its whole-family care model, most recently as Chief Clinical Officer. Since becoming COO in April, she has moved her focus beyond the clinical model to the operations and systems Nest needs to grow. That includes a staged rollout now underway across five Northern Arizona counties that will reach an estimated 20,000 rural Medicaid members.
  
  
  
  
• Chris Baglieri, VP of Product & Technology. Baglieri has spent more than two decades building healthcare technology, including leading teams through hypergrowth, profitability and acquisition. At Omada Health, he led the organization behind its member and care team experiences, including mobile apps used daily by more than 100,000 members, through rapid growth and the company's IPO. At Nest, he leads product, engineering and data, rebuilding the platform around the whole family and building the AI tools that help care teams serve more families as the company scales.
  
  
  
  
• Michelle Spinale, VP of Marketing & Communications. Spinale has spent her career connecting creative, content and commercial strategy to drive growth at Disney, Time Warner, NBCUniversal, Harvard Health Publishing and healthcare startups, from launching new brands to reinventing established ones. At Nest, she leads marketing and communications to families, health plans, investors and talent, building a brand they recognize and trust.
  
  
  
  
• Jessica Maslow, Head of People. Maslow brings more than 20 years of human resources experience at large organizations such as Target and DaVita and at high-growth startups, including more than a decade in healthcare. She has focused on building strong teams, developing leaders and improving employee engagement and retention. At Nest, she leads the people strategy and talent practices that support the company's growth and its mission of delivering whole-family care.
