WILMINGTON, DE — Phreesia, Inc. (NYSE: PHR) has appointed Jon Kessler to its board of directors effective April 6, 2026, while directors Edward L. Cahill and Michael Weintraub plan to retire at the company’s 2026 annual meeting, the company announced.
Kessler is a healthcare technology and financial services executive who most recently served as president and chief executive officer of HealthEquity (Nasdaq: HQY).
He previously founded WageWorks and served as its chairman and chief executive officer.
Phreesia CEO and co-founder Chaim Indig said Kessler’s experience in healthcare and financial services aligns with the company’s focus on patient engagement technology.
“Jon’s appointment reflects Phreesia’s commitment to maintaining a high-caliber Board by continually adding independent directors with highly relevant backgrounds, expertise and skill sets,” Indig said.
Kessler said he was joining the board after discussions with company leadership in recent months.
“I have long admired Phreesia for its leadership in modernizing the patient intake experience,” he said. “As I have had a chance to get to know members of the Board over the last few months, it has become clear to me that the Company is well positioned for continued growth.”
Cahill and Weintraub have served on the board since the company’s founding, according to Phreesia.
The company said it has grown annual revenue from about $100 million at the time of its 2019 initial public offering to more than $460 million for the 12 months ended October 31, 2025.
In 2024, Phreesia’s platform was used in about 170 million patient visits, which the company said represents roughly one in seven healthcare visits in the United States.
Weintraub will remain chair of the board until his retirement, after which a new chair will be appointed.
Following the changes, Phreesia said its board will consist of seven directors, six of whom will be independent.
Phreesia provides digital tools for healthcare providers and life sciences organizations aimed at supporting patient intake, outreach and education.
