FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
28 January 2025
Vitalchat, an innovator of AI-powered ambient solutions for in-patient virtual nursing and procedural telehealth, today announced the appointment of Wes Stewart as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Jennifer Haas as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). These key executive appointments strengthen Vitalchat's leadership team, driving the company's mission to innovate healthcare delivery and tackle pressing challenges such as nursing shortages and clinician burnout, while positioning the organization for rapid growth.
Wes Stewart brings over 20 years of financial leadership experience, including a decade in the healthcare technology sector. He has a proven track record in scaling businesses, driving operational excellence, and leading financial strategies for high-growth organizations. Prior to joining Vitalchat, Wes served as CFO at Pro-ficiency where he successfully led financial operations and strategic planning, contributing to significant revenue growth, market expansion, and the company’s $100 million acquisition by Simulation Plus in 2024.
Jennifer Haas is a seasoned business-to-business and consumer health and life sciences marketing executive with over 25 years of experience in building impactful brands, developing go-to-market strategies, and driving customer engagement. Before joining Vitalchat, Jennifer was the Chief Marketing & Experience Officer at OncoHealth, where she played a pivotal role in the development and commercialization of the industry’s first virtual cancer care platform. She’s also held senior marketing roles at TriNetX and Microsoft.
“We are thrilled to welcome Wes and Jennifer to the Vitalchat team,” said Michael Raymer, CEO of Vitalchat. “Both have established reputations for building high-performing teams, driving impactful strategies, and accelerating corporate growth. Their expertise and leadership will be instrumental as we continue to innovate and scale our solutions to meet the needs of nurses, providers, and patients alike.”
Historically, high infrastructure costs, robust connectivity requirements, and privacy concerns have limited the adoption of audio and video solutions at the patient bedside to support monitoring and care delivery. Imagined by a physician and developed in collaboration with nurses and technologists, Vitalchat's solution provides a simple, seamless option for organizations seeking to leverage technology for virtual nursing, e-sitters, and care coordination. It enables the detection of incidents such as falls and violence before they occur, facilitates the simultaneous monitoring of multiple patients, and offers secure, one-touch virtual visits with doctors, specialists, and family members.
