MTM Health Names Chris Echols Regional Vice President of Operations
MTM Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Echols as Regional Vice President of Operations, effective July 6, 2026. In this role, Echols will oversee client relationships and overall NEMT operations across the eastern region of the United States.
Echols brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience in healthcare services, with a strong focus on non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) operations, strategic planning, financial analysis, contracting, and operational excellence. Most relevantly, he served as Senior Vice President of Operations at Modivcare, where he managed large-scale NEMT operations across multiple states in the eastern portion of the United States. In this role, he oversaw approximately $400 million in contracts with state Medicaid agencies and managed care plans. He also held the role of Senior Vice President of Pricing and Contracting at Modivcare, where he developed pricing strategies to support business growth and client satisfaction.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chris to the MTM Health team,” said Dana Wilkerson, Senior Vice President of Operations. “His proven track record in managing complex NEMT operations, building high-performing teams, and driving results in the Medicaid and Medicare space makes him an ideal fit as we continue to expand our footprint and enhance service delivery in the eastern region. Chris’s expertise will be instrumental in ensuring exceptional client outcomes and operational efficiency.”
As MTM Health experiences continued growth, the company also plans to add another Regional Vice President of Operations later this year or early in 2027 to further strengthen leadership support and sustain its expansion.
Echols commented, “I am excited to join MTM Health at such a dynamic and transformative time in the industry. With nearly 30 years of industry leadership, MTM Health is at the forefront of innovative, technology-driven NEMT solutions that improve healthcare access and outcomes. I look forward to contributing to the team’s success and supporting our clients in the eastern region.”
