Joseph McDonough, MSN, MHCDS

Joe is an entrepreneur, innovator and leader who has redefined home health care over his 25 years of working across the care continuum and leading organizations. After graduating from Yale University with his Master of Science in Nursing, he took his passion for population health and paired it with a commitment to focus on a significant underserved patient population in Massachusetts—those struggling with complex mental health needs and concurrent medical issues. Joe founded Innovive Health in 2000, which is now the largest home health agency in Massachusetts—and the most innovative one in the country serving this patient population. Under his leadership, the company has consistently delivered strong clinical outcomes and is now utilizing cloud-based technology tools to better understand how social determinants influence care. A pioneer in this industry, Joe is now focused on partnering with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and other value-based care models to help them attain improved outcomes and cost savings for their patients in the community.
