Sarah Michaels, RN, CPBS

Sarah Michaels serves as the Chief Clinical Officer at Kinetiq Health, where she leads a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, data analysts, and financial professionals dedicated to improving member health and reducing healthcare costs. With over a decade of experience bridging both the clinical and benefits space, Sarah brings a unique, data-informed perspective to population health management— blending compassionate care with measurable financial results.

In her role, Sarah works directly with clients to design and implement comprehensive health and wellness strategies that address risk at both the population and individual levels. Using analytics and predictive modeling, her team identifies high-risk members, guides targeted interventions, and provides actionable insights that strengthen renewal negotiations and control long-term costs.

In addition to her leadership responsibilities, Sarah remains actively connected to patient care, practicing PRN as a registered nurse at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN. Her clinical background fuels her passion for bridging data with practical solutions, ensuring that every recommendation she makes considers both financial strategy and the tangible needs of members.

Outside of work, Sarah is a dedicated foster parent, striving to be a role model and source of stability for children in need. Since 2017, she has fostered over 50 children—demonstrating the same compassion and commitment in her personal life that she brings to her professional work.
