ROCKET DOCTOR ANNOUNCES MARYLAND EXPANSION AND STRATEGIC APPOINTMENT OF NEW MEDICAL LEAD
Doctors using Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace have officially commenced patient care operations in Maryland, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued expansion across key U.S. health care markets. This launch builds on recent progress establishing in-network coverage with Medicaid and Medicare in the state, and reflects Rocket Doctor's broader strategy to improve access to high-quality, technology-enabled care for underserved populations. Coinciding with this operational milestone, the company has appointed Dr. Suzanne Caccamese as Maryland medical lead, who will oversee clinical excellence and support the growth of Rocket Doctor's physician network across the state.
Following a news release in fourth quarter 2025
outlining in-network expansion with Medicaid and Medicare in Maryland, the first cohort of patients are being seen. Rocket Doctor's platform is actively delivering care through its initial group of board-certified, in-state physicians, with additional payer partnerships under development to further expand access across both public and commercial populations.
Dr. Caccamese's appointment marks an important step in establishing local clinical leadership as Rocket Doctor begins seeing patients across the state. As Maryland medical lead, Dr. Caccamese will oversee clinical operations across the state, support physician recruitment and on-boarding, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, patient-centred care. She also currently serves as medical director at Towson University, where she leads student health services and initiatives focused on improving access for diverse patient populations.
"Rocket Doctor represents a meaningful evolution in how care can be delivered," said Dr. Caccamese. "I've seen first-hand the barriers many patients face in accessing timely care, and I'm excited to help build a model that improves access while maintaining strong clinical standards."
Dr. Caccamese previously practised as a primary care physician in internal medicine at the University of Maryland, where she delivered comprehensive care and supported co-ordination across complex patient populations. Her experience spans clinical practice, academic medicine and health care leadership, with a consistent focus on access, quality and innovation.
"Our expansion into Maryland is about bringing timely, accessible care to more patients who need it," said Dr. William Cherniak, co-founder and chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor Inc. "With Dr. Caccamese's leadership and deep experience in the local health care landscape, we're building a strong foundation to deliver high-quality care and improve outcomes across the state."
Rocket Doctor's growth in Maryland reflects its broader strategy to establish strong local clinical leadership while integrating its platform into leading health care markets. By combining physician-led care with digital infrastructure, the company continues to advance its mission to improve access, continuity and quality of care for underserved populations, and looks forward to sharing additional Maryland-related developments in the near future.
