Eric Schultz joined Fallon Community Health Plan as President in 1999.

During his 23-year career in health care, Schultz has consistently taken an active role in defining and implementing changes that have led to improvements and greater efficiencies in both the financing and delivery of health care. Under his vision and leadership, FCHP emerged from significant financial losses and transformed from a regional group model health plan into a statewide health care services company. 

FCHP became the first HMO in Massachusetts to offer high-performance provider networks, which offer consumers access to physician and community-based hospital systems that produce higher than average clinical outcomes at lower costs. FCHP also is the nation’s only health plan that operates a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). This FCHP line of business, called Summit ElderCare, provides day-to-day clinical care to frail elders, giving them the ability to live independently within their own homes and communities.

Schultz holds an MBA in Health Care Leadership from Yale University’s School of Management, as well as a bachelor of science degree in biology and a bachelor of arts degree in economics from the University of Connecticut.
