Career devoted to making the health system work better

David Baiada to join BAYADA Home Health Care Board of Directors, serve as senior advisor to new CEO

BAYADA Home Health Care (“BAYADA”), a nonprofit organization and one of the nation’s largest providers of home health, personal home care, private duty nursing and hospice services, recently announced the appointment of Bryony Winn as the company’s next Chief Executive Officer (CEO). 

Bryony – the first non-family member to lead BAYADA – will join the organization on March 2nd, 2026. At that time, David Baiada will conclude his eight-year tenure as CEO by joining the BAYADA Board of Directors and serving as senior advisor to the incoming CEO. 

Mark Baiada, founder and Chairman of BAYADA, said, “When we began the search for our next CEO, we wanted a leader who would help shape the next 100 years of BAYADA – someone who truly gets what makes BAYADA special, with a passion for making the health system work better and a track record of doing so. Bryony is that leader.” 

Throughout her career, Bryony has tackled complex challenges in healthcare – such as access, equity, affordability, outcomes, support for frontline caregivers. Previously, as President of Carelon Health – a division of Elevance Health – she led more than 8,500 associates who served nearly 100 million Americans in all 50 states, championing a whole health approach with a focus on greater adoption of value-based care. 

Prior to joining Carelon/Elevance, Bryony held leadership positions at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and McKinsey & Company. In 2024, Modern Healthcare recognized her as one of the “Top Women Leaders in Healthcare,” and Pearl Health named her among the “Top 50 Value-Based Care Thinkers.” 

“Leading an organization like BAYADA is the opportunity of a lifetime,” Bryony remarked. “It’s a special organization that makes a real, tangible impact on people and health worldwide. I can’t wait to get started.” 

Commenting on the appointment, David Baiada said, “Bryony believes that health is deeply personal, and that caring for others – often when they need it most – is a privilege. That is the essence of BAYADA, why it is an honor to serve as CEO. Simply put, it’s the best job in healthcare, and she’s the right person for it.” 

“Throughout this search, we saw strong interest from a significant number of highly qualified candidates,” commented Teresa Carroll, Chair of the BAYADA Board Succession Committee. “Repeatedly, we heard from candidates that BAYADA is special, a caregiving organization like no other. With Bryony’s leadership, we’re ready to build on that.”
