Origin

Built on experience.
Guided by purpose.

Halo was built on the belief that the best healthcare solutions come from those who understand the journey — from the bedside to the boardroom.

Connected by Purpose

Leadership at Halo Health Connect

Clinical experience, strategic thinking, and compassion come together around one shared commitment: better connected care.

Jenelle L. Crespo, RN, CCM

Chief Executive Officer

Our work matters because behind every system, every decision, and every outcome is a person trusting us with their care.

Jenelle is a healthcare strategist with academic backgrounds in Nursing, Business Administration, and Communications and more than a decade of experience across emergency, acute, behavioral health, post-acute, payer, and value-based care. Beginning in the emergency department and serving medically and socially complex populations taught her to see beyond the diagnosis and address barriers to health.

Through Boston’s One Care program, she embraced whole-person care, uniting clinical, behavioral health, and community teams around shared goals and accountability. In leadership roles, she partnered with healthcare executives, physicians, and interdisciplinary teams to strengthen high-risk care strategies, care coordination, discharge planning, and level-of-care and length-of-stay management while improving outcomes and managing costs.

Connected care became personal during her cancer diagnosis. Collaboration among specialists supported her recovery and reinforced her conviction that no patient should navigate fragmented care alone. Now cancer-free, Jenelle brings her experience as a clinician, leader, and patient to Halo Health Connect, which she founded on the belief that connected care improves lives.

Outside her work, Jenelle finds joy in family and community. She lives in Lake Nona with her husband, Dr. Jason Crespo, and share two daughters, Sofia and Scarlett. She cherishes time with her extended family and close-knit community and enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants, and getting lost in a good thriller.
