BOSTON – Current Health, which was acquired by Best Buy in 2021, is once again an independent business under the leadership of CEO and Co-Founder Chris McGhee.
A number of other members of the company’s team, including Co-Founder Stewart Whiting, are also returning.
“We’ll be recommitting to our mission and building a world-leading organization with an integrated and intelligent solution for shifting more health care into home and community settings,” he stated in a blog on Current Health’s website titled “A personal message from Chris McGhee, CEO and co-founder of Current Health.” “Stay tuned.”
Since launching in 2014, McGhee says Current Health’s platform has:
- Become the leading platform for hospital-at-home, oncology-at-home and in a number of other care-at-home markets.
- Facilitated care for more than one-third of all patients in the U.S. who have had a hospital-at-home experience.
- Helped more than 70,000 patients across care models receive the health care they need from home.
“We’re proud of the work we’ve done so far and look forward to the next phase of this journey,” he said.
McGhee says “we are still in the early innings of the shift from hospital-based care to home and community-based care” and “there’s much more to do and Current Health has much more to give.”
Best Buy initiated a major restructuring effort within its health business in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, incurring $109 million in restructuring charges.
Best Buy has several partnerships with leading health systems such as Mass General Brigham, Geisinger and Atrium Health to offer in-home care and remote monitoring to patients with chronic health conditions.
