Founder and CEO

Kim A. Smith is a sought-after speaker, author, and the Founder & CEO of Health Evolve Technologies with 18 years of executive leadership experience in top healthcare systems—including Duke Medicine, Tenet Healthcare, and MUSC Health. Kim has mastered leadership development, hospital and medical group operations, business expansion, and health equity. Kim’s passion for maternal health equity is deeply personal – shaped by her own experience with HELLP Syndrome and the growing maternal mortality and morbidity rates. In 2023, she launched Health Evolve with a unique strategy to address these gaps. Her team has developed “Lauren”, a digital health platform designed to support women’s heart health, diabetes and stress management from conception through postpartum care. Using a digital health equity framework, she and her team have developed, piloted and begun deployment of this health at home care solution in rural and urban settings.
