Andrew Kobylinski is passionate about bringing consumer-friendly solutions to a complex health care system. This core principle led him to create a simpler, low-barrier, more accessible way to run public health initiatives including COVID-19 testing and vaccination.
In March of 2020, Andrew co-founded Primary.Health, a software platform that helps government agencies, community-based organizations, school districts, and health systems organize, streamline, and automate their testing and vaccine programs. In less than a year, Primary’s team has grown to more than 75 employees who have managed millions of tests and vaccines administered across 15 states.
Andrew has more than 15 years of innovative experience working with digital health start-ups as a founder, leader and driver of growth. Previously he was Head of Platform at BetterDoctor, a platform that enables health care consumers, physicians, and insurers to access accurate provider directories.

He has also helped launch several consumer health portals including Healthline.com as well as search engines for Aetna, Genentech, and UnitedHealthGroup.

Rachel Keith, Ph.D., APRN, ANP-C is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and Director of Human Subject Services at the Environment Institute. As a regulatory trained clinician scientist, Dr. Keith combines her diverse skill set in basic sciences, nursing, community participatory research and clinical studies to understand how environmental exposures impact health outcomes, targeting prevention of cardiovascular disease and novel identifiers of early disease. Though genetics plays a role in susceptibility of individuals to disease, a larger portion likely comes from the environment, which can range from lifestyle choices such as physical activity and tobacco use to inhaled compounds such as air pollution or biotics like Sars-CoV02. Her research, including oversight of numerous clinical studies, seeks to establish how the environment influences both disease and the perception of risk, which has many policy and regulatory implications.
