chicago, December 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Help at Home, the nation's leading provider of relationship-based, person-centered home care, today announced the appointment of Ann Wells, MD, as the company's first Chief Medical Safety Officer. This new role reflects Help at Home's continued commitment to driving quality, safety and clinical innovation across our care delivery models.
“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Wells to our home as we continue to offer a more holistic model of care for the future,” said CEO Chris Josevar. “She brings a track record of driving innovation, improving quality, and advancing value-based care. Her leadership will play a critical role in advancing clinical excellence, strengthening compliance, and supporting our mission to provide safe, high-quality, safety-focused home care.”
A board-certified internal medicine physician, Dr. Wells has over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience. Prior to joining Help at Home, he served as Chief Quality and Population Health Officer at InnovAge, the nation's largest provider of PACE (Program of Comprehensive Care for the Elderly), where he led efforts to improve outcomes, increase efficiency, and enhance the patient and caregiver experience.

I am honored to join a company whose mission is to help people stay healthy, independent, and at home with their loved ones.”
