(the Company), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Steven Nelson to the Board, effective May 1, 2026. Mr. Nelson was appointed to fill a newly created vacant Board seat due to the expansion of the current Board from six (6) to seven (7) directors, also effective May 1, 2026. As previously announced, effective immediately prior to the commencement of the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the size of the Board will be reduced by one, from seven (7) to six (6), in connection with Matthew Kolb not standing for re-election. Mr. Nelson will serve as a Class II director until the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, death, or removal. The Board expects to appoint Mr. Nelson to serve as a member of one or more committees of the Board at a later date. Mr. Nelson will receive cash and equity compensation pursuant to the Company's non-employee director compensation policy and will also enter into the Company's standard form indemnification agreement.

Mr. Nelson holds a B.S. from Portland State University and an M.B.A. and Master of Health Services from the University of Michigan.

Since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year through the present, there have been no transactions between Mr. Nelson and the Company, and there are currently no proposed transactions with the Company, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which Mr. Nelson had or will have a direct or indirect material interest within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. No arrangement or understanding exists between Mr. Nelson and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Nelson was selected as a director of the Company.

**Health Catalyst Appoints Steve Nelson, President of Aetna, to Its Board of Directors**

*Nelson Joins as the Company Builds the Leadership Infrastructure for Its Next Phase*

**SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - April 30, 2026** - Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst", Nasdaq: HCAT), a healthcare intelligence company designed to accelerate measurable improvement for health systems, today announced that Steve Nelson, Executive Vice President and President of Aetna, a CVS Health company, has been appointed to its Board of Directors, effective May 1, 2026.

Nelson's appointment follows the naming of Ben Albert as CEO and Justin Spencer as Chairman of the Board earlier this year, continuing a deliberate pattern of leadership moves designed to accelerate the company's transformation– executing on a single, coordinated strategy to help health systems address cost, clinical outcomes, and consumer experience as one imperative.

"Steve has seen the healthcare ecosystem from every angle that matters," said Ben Albert, CEO of Health Catalyst, "as a leader of one of the largest health insurers shaping U.S. healthcare, as a leader of large premier value-based care and multi-specialty provider organizations, and as an executive navigating the pressure points that health systems face every day. We believe that perspective is exactly what we need to execute on our commitment to be the intelligence partner health systems rely on to make their most consequential decisions. We are grateful to have him."

In his current role at Aetna, a CVS Health company, Nelson has championed stronger provider partnerships and a less transactional approach to healthcare. Previously, he served as Chief Executive Officer of ChenMed and led Duly Health and Care, building and scaling delivery models where health outcomes, provider experience, cost discipline, clinical performance, and consumer engagement operated as a single integrated strategy. His earlier tenure as CEO of UnitedHealthcare, combined with other executive and board roles across both public and private healthcare organizations, gives him deep understanding on the forces shaping how health systems are reimbursed, evaluated, and held accountable. He brings to Health Catalyst's board a breadth of perspective deeply rooted in what health system clients need their intelligence partner to understand.

"I am honored to join Health Catalyst's board at such a pivotal moment for the company and for healthcare. Ben and the team are delivering AI-enabled technology solutions that directly address the foundational challenges health systems face: controlling costs, improving clinical quality, and elevating the consumer and provider experience. This is the kind of work that moves the industry forward, and I believe this is the right moment to be part of it," said Steve Nelson.

**About Health Catalyst**

Backed by deep domain expertise, proprietary AI-driven technology, and $2.8 billion in documented outcomes, Health Catalyst helps health systems move from data to confident, measurable action.
