Oshi Health names Danny Krifcher as President & COO

Oshi Health has appointed Danny Krifcher as President and Chief Operating Officer, a newly created role at the virtual gastrointestinal care provider.

He will lead operations as Oshi expands its virtual multidisciplinary GI clinic across the US. The company said it is now available as an in-network virtual GI clinic to more than 63 million people nationwide.

Growth experience

Krifcher joins from Millennium Physician Group, where he served as President of the Florida Market and oversaw what Oshi described as the state's largest independent primary care group. The business has more than 150 locations, including specialty clinics and ancillary services.

Earlier in his career, he was Head of Growth and Chief Financial Officer at Audacious Inquiry, a health information technology company focused on connected care and health information exchange. He also served as Chief Commercial Officer at Aledade and as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Avalere Health. He began his career as a consultant at Bain and later spent more than a decade as a senior executive at America Online.

Care expansion

The appointment comes as Oshi looks to widen access to virtual digestive health services and strengthen its operating structure. Its care model combines medical, dietary, and gut-brain care through telehealth in all 50 states.

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Sam Holliday said Krifcher's experience aligns with the company's next stage of growth.

"As we enter our next phase of accelerated growth, Danny brings the energy and experience to expand our infrastructure, teams, and systems to deliver population-level impact at scale," said Sam Holliday, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Oshi Health.

"Danny's perspective and track record across value-based care, healthcare technology, and large-scale care delivery will help us build even faster and smarter."

Clinical outcomes

Krifcher said Oshi's clinical model and patient results were central to his decision to join.

"What drew me to Oshi is the clinical rigor, sensitivity of care, and documented outcomes that Oshi provides to a population that doesn't always know where to turn," said Danny Krifcher, President and Chief Operating Officer, Oshi Health.

"The Oshi model of coordinated, whole-person GI care delivers documented, measurably better outcomes for patients while meaningfully lowering costs for employers and health plans. The clinical foundation is extraordinary. My job is to aggressively ramp the engine to deliver Oshi's care model to millions more people, with the same rigor and quality."

Oshi said its clinical approach is supported by what it called the largest peer-reviewed study of virtual multidisciplinary GI care published to date. According to the company, the study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, found that 85.4% of more than 11,000 patients across all 50 states reported symptom improvement.

Separate data in Oshi's 2025 Impact Report showed annual per-member savings of USD $6,081 in a matched-control claims analysis. The figures form part of the company's case for wider adoption among employers and health plans.

AI focus

Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer Sameer Berry, MD, MBA, said the appointment supports the next stage of Oshi's growth.

"Oshi has validated that patients from diverse populations will readily engage in our model of virtual clinician-led care, and they achieve sustainably better outcomes," said Sameer Berry, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Oshi Health.

"With Danny leading operations, we can turn our focus to how technology, and AI in particular, can fuel that model even more, helping our clinicians work more effectively and extending world-class GI care to millions."
