Oshi Health, the only national interdisciplinary gastroenterology (GI) medical practice, is excited to announce the appointment of Rebecca Bennett as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships & Network Operations. With a proven track record leading the development of strategic provider partnership networks for hybrid digital care, Bennett will extend and deepen Oshi’s collaborations with provider networks to give patients the best of virtual and the best of in-person care.
Healthcare organizations and physician groups across the U.S. healthcare system are facing serious capacity constraints, exacerbated in rural areas. Additionally, specialized clinicians like GI-specialized registered dietitians and gut-brain specialists have always been scarce, and poorly reimbursed. As a virtual GI center of excellence, Oshi Health gives local organizations, including health systems, community GI practices, primary care groups, and accountable care organizations new options to offer patients immediate access to high-quality multidisciplinary GI care to alleviate capacity constraints, optimize necessary in-person care, enhance patient retention, and improve outcomes. Oshi is also uniquely able to activate and guide patients to important colorectal cancer screenings and other necessary in-person care.
Bennett’s healthcare career has been defined by a commitment to making care more accessible, especially for women and other underserved populations. Before joining Oshi Health, she led health system and provider partnerships at Noom, where she built alliances with provider organizations to promote healthier lifestyles. She played a similar role at Midi Health, where she helped build comprehensive partnerships that expanded women’s health services with some of the largest health systems in the country. Prior, she held multiple leadership roles at Johnson & Johnson, including leading the payer strategy for the company’s first commercial cell therapy, CARVYKTI.

“I’m thrilled to join Oshi Health and contribute to a mission that is both professionally and personally meaningful to me,” said Bennett. “Digestive health is finally getting the attention it deserves, yet so many patients, particularly women, continue to suffer in silence. Oshi’s innovative, multidisciplinary approach is making a real difference in patients’ lives by providing integrated, personalized care that addresses the root causes of GI issues. I’m excited to work closely with GI clinics, health systems, and other organizations around the country to improve both the patient and provider experience.”
Bennett’s passion for building and leading high-performing collaborative teams began during her distinguished service in the U.S. Navy, where she spent over a decade as a helicopter pilot, experimental test pilot, program manager, operations/quality leader, and people leader. Her military background honed her leadership skills and her operational excellence aptitude—a skill set she now brings to Oshi Health to support its continued growth.
Sameer Berry, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Oshi Health, added, “Local GI practices and health systems are facing mounting systemic challenges; partnerships for virtual collaborative care is a rare opportunity to address so many of them – to benefit the health of the practice and the health of patients. Hybrid care is the path forward, and Rebecca’s unique experiences in building collaborative physician partnerships will help us accelerate sustainable change in GI care.”
