His background also includes a tenure as Senior Medical Director at Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan, now known as WellSense Health Plan, where he directed the Senior Care Options product.

An alumnus of the Harvard School of Public Health and the Universidad Central de Venezuela, Dr. Hernandez maintains academic ties as a faculty member in Family Medicine and Community Health, while actively serving on state advisory boards and committees focused on delivery systems.
