Healthcare finance leader joins to fuel growth and expand Cecelia Health’s clinically-led virtual integrated care approach

NEW YORK AUGUST 6, 2025 

Cecelia Health, a virtual specialty medical practice delivering integrated care for people living with cardiometabolic and related chronic conditions, today announced the appointment of David Lombardi as Chief Financial Officer. Lombardi brings more than 20 years of healthcare finance and strategic growth experience to Cecelia Health as the organization expands its partnerships with health plans and employers nationwide. 

Prior to joining Cecelia Health, Lombardi served as Chief Financial Officer at Emcara Health, a leading value-based in-home primary care provider recently acquired by Lucet. With a track record of guiding high-growth healthcare organizations, his expertise spans virtual care delivery, risk-based contracting, and building financially sustainable solutions for complex, high-need populations. 

“David brings the financial discipline and operational depth we need as we broaden our impact. He joins at a pivotal time—GLP-1s continue to drive healthcare spending, and payers are under pressure to deliver both clinical and financial outcomes,” said Mark Clermont, Chief Executive Officer of Cecelia Health. “At Cecelia Health, we’re building a smarter, more accountable approach through virtual integrated care—one that’s clinically grounded, data-driven, and ready to meet the moment.” 

As CFO, Lombardi will oversee financial planning, performance optimization, and strategic growth initiatives as Cecelia Health continues to demonstrate clinical and financial value through its interdisciplinary virtual clinic. His appointment reflects the company’s commitment to strong financial governance and its mission to improve the lives of people with obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, respiratory disease, and related conditions. 

“Cecelia Health is addressing one of the biggest failures in our healthcare system—fragmented care,” said Lombardi. “I’m thrilled to join a company that’s proving you can drive better outcomes and lower costs through clinically-led, virtual integrated care. This isn’t a concept—it’s a scalable, efficient, and effective business that’s delivering real value to patients and payers alike.” 

Lombardi’s appointment signals what’s next: bigger partnerships, bolder outcomes, and a redefinition of healthcare delivery that meets—and anticipates—the evolving needs of patients, providers, and payers.
