Founder Spotlight
Leadership Rooted in Experience, Purpose, and Operational Clarity
WheelhouseMD was founded by Dr. Adrianne Dismuke, a healthcare operations leader with more than a decade of experience guiding patients through complex care plans, insurance barriers, and referral pathways. Her work across digital health, behavioral health, and health insurance shaped a deep understanding of where care breaks down — and what it takes to build systems that keep it moving.
Her leadership philosophy centers on human relationships, patient engagement, and operational discipline. AI supports that work by improving workflow efficiency and team capacity—not by replacing the guidance patients need.

Founder & CEO, WheelhouseMD
A Career Built on Access, Navigation, and Operational Strength
Since 2010, Dr. Dismuke has worked directly with patients navigating complex care journeys — supporting them through benefits confusion, referral delays, and care‑plan uncertainty. She has led care navigation teams, insurance support programs, member education initiatives, and virtual care operations serving diverse patient populations.
Her leadership centers on clarity, compassion, and operational precision — the same principles that define WheelhouseMD today.
“Navigation is not just guidance — it’s clarity, confidence, and connection.”
