AcariaHealth is pleased to welcome Jessica Ciccolella-Kahl as our new President. She succeeds Steve Jensen who, after nearly 13 years with AcariaHealth and Centene, announced his retirement in 2023.

Jessica brings more than 20 years of experience in pharmacy, product strategy, customer experience, and portfolio management, spending much of her career in various leadership roles within the Cigna family of companies. As the Vice President of Product Strategy at Accredo, Jessica utilized patient journey data, market intelligence, and operational expertise to drive value through the development of innovative programs and solutions for patients, prescribers, payers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

“We are excited for this next chapter of AcariaHealth with Jessica at the helm. Her extensive knowledge of patient data and operational expertise, along with her passion for facilitating superior patient experiences aligns very well with the important mission of the AcariaHealth team,” said Senior Vice President of Specialty Services and CEO of Centene Pharmacy Services, Sarah Baiocchi.

“AcariaHealth has a proud history of excellence in specialty pharmacy, and I look forward to supporting this company as we elevate lives through compassionate care,” said Ms. Ciccolella-Kahl. “Together we can drive further innovation in specialty pharmacy, raising the bar for patient services and making a difference in the lives of patients and families across the country.”
