Evergreen Nephrology Adds New Executives to Team

Evergreen Nephrology, a value-based kidney care provider in Nashville with more than 700 provider partners spanning 17 states, has appointed two new executives to its leadership team. Heather Trafton will serve as the company’s president, while Ron Margalit will act as chief information officer (CIO).

Trafton began her career as a physician assistant and has spent the last decade in high-growth, value-based, health care technology companies. Margalit has more than 25 years of experience in health care technology, most recently as CIO of InnovaCare.

“Heather’s deep operational expertise in value-based care and her experience working on the front lines through her time as [a chief executive officer] brings a new level of operational expertise to the Evergreen team,” said Adam Boehler, executive chairman of Evergreen Nephrology. “Evergreen’s technology-enabled partnership addresses barriers to care transformation, ensuring that nephrologists have the tools they need to provide the best care to patients. Ron’s experience developing technology for value-based organizations is a critical asset for Evergreen and our nephrology partners as they improve care for kidney care patients.”
