Geetha Parachuru
Director of Product
A high-tech storyteller, truth seeker, trained broadcast journalist, trained public health professional and trained engineer, Geetha comes to HHP with a passion for patient advocacy and patient empowerment. She seeks to spend her professional career in mission-driven organizations empower patients with information that can reduce healthcare costs, drive longevity and happiness.
Geetha’s education and experience in the corporate world took a windy path that eventually coalesced into product management. With an engineering background, she worked as technical project manager for four years learning the ins and outs of software development management. She then took a huge leap of faith to study journalism, which led her to CNN Health and local news. At the local news station she found herself in her element. Opting to go off broadcast TV and start her social media health channel, Geetha covered public health topics with a twist. She studied her audience with data, learned what made them tick, when and how they wanted to consume news. This drove her audience and fans and she continued to curate and push content that empowered people to live healthier lives.
She then went back to school again to study public health (epidemiology and public policy and management). While working on generating content at Staywell (now WebMD), Geetha ventured into product where she powered patient education materials for patients at their doctor’s office. This drove her into multiple product roles, as Director of Product for BioIQ (now, LetsGetChecked) and NoxHealth, focusing on sleep health and sleep apnea. Prior to the pandemic, she joined Livongo to drive the strategy and execution of their mental health offering. She was part of one of the largest acquisitions in health tech history (Teladoc Livongo) where overnight, she was challenged to build out one of the largest clinical grade stepped care mental health apps at a time when mental health was wreaking havoc in our nation. Now Geetha is at Walmart Health leading the strategy and execution of Walmart’s omnichannel health strategies layering Walmart virtual care services over Walmart clinics.
Health care and health policy is in Geetha’s DNA. She’s ready to take it on with a love for people, and passion for empowerment.

Erica Andrews
HR Assistant
Erica Andrews current areas of interest are in the fields of Computer Science and Psychology. She’s practiced these fields in her undergraduate education and for the past two and a half years. She is interested in combining both fields of her interest toward a position that allows her to practice and apply what she has learned. She has been a student for practically her whole life and drawn toward education and things related for as long as she can remember. She has explored many fields on its surface in order to discover whether the first educational field introduced would only capture her interest. However, being involved in a field related to mental health will allow her to apply what she has personally learned from her past, her experiences, and the past and experiences of others. This idea has drawn her toward assisting an organization in the field of health as much as she can in order to gain referrals and experience networking. Although her interests have guided her toward assisting many organizations in various fields, she assumes it will be an honor to contribute toward the field that initially captured her interest. She started practicing with computer programming languages about two and a half years ago by reading and writing code. After programming for a while, she began to take an interest in Web Development and Web Design. She began to create websites and eventually found her first internship as a Web Developer. She completed her first internship and eventually found another as a Web Designer. While interning, she practiced reading and writing programs and becoming better at understanding the various tools that can be applied toward creating a website. She learned a lot and is happy to know that she will always have more to learn in the technical field. She eventually discovered positions that have captured her current interest in order to apply both of her majors, Computer Science and Psychology. She hopes to explore these positions in the future as she continues to practice. She is not sure whether she will ever get the chance to benefit the health field by discovering or creating something unique. If so, she imagines it would be a wonderful experience. She has gone from studying the mental health field since a child, to exploring different types of fields out of curiosity, to diving into the technical field to see whether she may find assistance toward mastering her first field of interest. She has presently applied both fields to her activities and practices and hopes for the future to continue to learn.
