Southard said, “the reason I chose to join Keona is the company’s innovative platform that helps healthcare organizations solve some of its biggest challenges; triaging and getting patients scheduled at the appropriate level of care, whether it’s a telehealth or in-person appointment. COVID 19 has certainly changed the way healthcare services are scheduled and delivered and the Keona Care Desk platform integrates with the health system’s EMR to streamline that process.”

As CCO, Southard will provide leadership, management and strategy to ensure Keona Health continues its rapid growth while continuing to provide superior value to the healthcare organizations that partner with Keona.
Southard has more than 20 years of experience leading sales/marketing and product teams at several leading healthcare companies. Before joining Keona, Darin was vice president of growth at InformedDNA, a leading precision medicine and genetic services company.
Prior to that, Southard served as General Manager at Clinical Solutions where he led sales and implementation efforts at some of the largest nurse triage call center customers in the world, including government sponsored programs in the U.K. and Canada, and many health systems/plans in the U.S.
