Emily Brower
President & CEO
National Association of ACOs (NAACOS)
Emily DuHamel Brower serves as President & CEO of the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS), the preeminent organization through which value-based care entities engage in peer-to-peer learning, gain information on best practices to improve performance, and advocate for policies that enable long-term sustainability to enhance care coordination, reduce healthcare costs, and improve quality.
Prior to joining NAACOS, Emily served as Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration and Physician Services for Trinity Health, one of the largest not-for-profit, faith-based health care systems in the nation. Under her leadership, Trinity Health’s Clinically Integrated Networks delivered top performance through accountability for $11 billion of medical expense and quality outcomes for 2 million people in Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial Alternative Payment Models.
Emily joined Trinity Health from Atrius Health in Massachusetts, where she last served as vice president of Population Health. At Atrius, Emily built and executed the essential capabilities required to achieve strong financial and clinical outcomes within integrated care models under value-based reimbursement, particularly for publicly insured populations.
Earlier in her career, Emily spent 15 years in leadership roles at Urban Medical, a Massachusetts nonprofit healthcare organization specializing in the care of medically complex, chronically ill populations across a community-based, long-term care continuum. During that time, Emily launched a PACE program and other innovative, capitated contracts for medically complex populations. She also served as Principal Investigator for a multi-year research project analyzing cost and quality outcomes to support payment reform.
Emily received her B.A. from Smith College and her MBA from the New York University Stern School of Business.
