Johns Hopkins Health Plans Announces New VP of Medicare Advantage
Lori Rund Brings Industry Experience, Strategic Expertise and Innovative Leadership
HANOVER, Md., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Nov. 3, Lori Rund joined Johns Hopkins Health Plans as Vice President of Medicare Advantage, filling the role vacated by a retirement.
“Lori brings a proven track record of leading Medicare teams with vision and integrity,” said J.P. Holland, President and CEO of Johns Hopkins Health Plans. “Her leadership and expertise will be instrumental as we continue advancing our mission to improve health outcomes and deliver exceptional service and value to the members we serve.”
In this leadership role, Rund leads Johns Hopkins Advantage MD, a Medicare Advantage plan entering its 11th year. The plan serves Medicare-eligible enrollees in parts of Maryland and Virginia.
A transformative health care leader with over 20 years of executive experience, Rund has a track record of driving growth, innovation and operational excellence across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ACA Marketplace, and commercial insurance. Her career spans senior roles at Carle Health System, Henry Ford Health System/Health Alliance Plan (HAP), Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and Deft Research, where she built high-performing teams, improved Star ratings, launched new product lines and redefined customer experience through data-driven strategy and cross-functional collaboration. Rund holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Management from Loyola University New Orleans.
While a shifting Medicare landscape has prompted many regional competitors to terminate plans and discontinue benefits, this key appointment is reflective of Johns Hopkins Health Plan’s commitment to serving Medicare beneficiaries and providing diverse product offerings.
