Dr. Alexis Chettiar is a clinician, program builder, data scientist, and passionate advocate for vulnerable populations. Dr. Chettiar is the CEO and co-founder of Cardea Health, and a medical director for Project Roomkey/Homekey. She has extensive experience with safety net services and community-based care, particularly integrated medical/social programs such as PACE, HCBA, and other Medi-Cal waiver programs. While at Center for Elders’ Independence, Dr. Chettiar built a Medi-Cal waiver program which successfully supported a large population of institutionally-frail individuals in remaining at home. Many of the beneficiaries of this program required long-term ventilators and feeding tubes, but were able to thrive at home with the support of in-home caregiving teams. Dr. Chettiar has dedicated her professional live to creating programs that provide high-value care for individuals with complex, chronic illness and improve care for underserved populations. This is apparent in her current work with the Project Roomkey/Homekey where she oversees clinical services for medically-frail unsheltered individuals. Outside of work, Alexis loves bicycle travel and gardening. She recently rode a triplet (3-seat tandem) from Oregon to Montana with her teenage sons and hopes to ride the rest of the way across the country before her kids leave the nest.
