Summary:

Andy Panos is a Co-Founder and the COO at Cloudbreak Health, a tele-health company that provides a suite of industry-leading services to their customers. Andy first founded LAN, or the Language Access Network, back in 2003 when his brother got into an accident in Mexico, which was compounded by the fact that Andy’s family didn’t speak the same language as his brother’s doctors. Since then, the LAN has become a part of Cloudbreak Health, an umbrella company for the several tele-health services the Cloudbreak team provides, and in 2016 Cloudbreak received the Patrick Soon-Shiong Innovation Award from the LA Business Journal.
