Experienced healthcare leader to guide Kinship's growth and bring PACE services to more communities
DAVIE, Fla., Nov. 10, 2026 — Kinship Health, a privately held operator of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), today announced the appointment of Hernando Celada as Chief Executive Officer.
Celada brings more than a decade of experience in senior-care leadership to Kinship Health. He spent 11 years at ChenMed, a large, multi-state value-based care organization, where he held several leadership positions, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer with enterprise responsibility across 111 centers.
His experience in scaling healthcare operations, developing leadership teams and expanding access to value-based care, positions him to guide Kinship's continued growth. As CEO, Celada will focus on bringing new centers into operation, expanding Kinship's presence in additional markets, and strengthening the leadership and systems needed to serve more older adults and their families.
"We want to serve others, care for people, and do good in the world. There are so many seniors in this country who are in a nursing home but do not need to be. PACE enables them stay in their homes for as long as possible with the people they love, while still being fully cared for. Kinship Health is positioned to bring PACE to communities that have never had access to it, and I'm excited to lead Kinship through this next chapter," said Celada.
Kinship Health currently operates eight PACE centers across three states, with additional centers in development. Through PACE, eligible adults age 55 and older receive coordinated medical and supportive services designed to help them continue living safely in their homes and communities. Care is coordinated by an interdisciplinary team and may be delivered at a PACE center, in the participant's home or through other healthcare providers.
