He holds two degrees from UAB - a Bachelor’s of Science in Public Health (2016) and recently a Master’s in Public Health with a concentration in Healthcare Organization and Policy (2018). Jared started his healthcare career while working in the Medicaid care management program for Viva Health for over 3 years in helping discuss and enroll patients into the program. He then worked as a Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) navigator in the Homewood area for a year as he was instrumental in starting up their navigation program for that patient population.
