Prior to eMed, Correcha-Price held senior leadership positions at two of the world’s top marketing communications firms, where he was responsible for strategic communications, public affairs, crisis management, image, and reputation for a wide portfolio of health care, consumer, technology, logistics, and entertainment brands.

“Carlos’ wealth of experience will be a vital asset to UHealth and the Miller School,” said Rudy Fernandez, executive vice president for external affairs and strategic initiatives and chief of staff to President Julio Frenk. “He brings unique perspectives that will advance our marketing and communications goals around research, education, and the continued expansion of access to our academic-based health care, both in South Florida’s communities and globally.”

“Miami’s ascendance to the national stage as one of the country’s most prolific cities relies heavily on a world-class health care and education system,” Correcha-Price said. “I hope to build on the progress already achieved, running an agile and fully integrated communications and marketing function that expands the reputation of UHealth and the Miller School as one of the nation’s most advanced academic medical centers.”
