ATLANTA, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CareSource, a nationally recognized nonprofit managed care organization serving more than 430,000 Georgians, today announced key leadership appointments to support continued growth and its commitment to member needs. Jason Bearden has been promoted to regional market president, and David Donohue has been named Georgia market president.
In his new role, Jason Bearden will oversee operations across Georgia, Arkansas and Mississippi, guiding market strategy, growth initiatives and the delivery of high-quality, whole-person care. Bearden previously served as Georgia market president, where his leadership and operational expertise positioned CareSource as a market leader in the state. He will continue to lead from Atlanta, ensuring that Georgia remains a key focus as his strategic role expands.

Stepping into the role of Georgia market president, David Donohue will lead market growth and develop strategies that expand access to care and improve member health outcomes.

His experience also includes work with a national community-based provider supporting people with developmental disabilities in Georgia.
“I am pleased to welcome David back to Georgia in this new role,” said Bearden. “He has successfully driven growth and innovation in the Arkansas market, and I look forward to working with him to continue CareSource’s critically important work in Georgia. His commitment to understanding and addressing members’ unique needs will strengthen our ability to provide compassionate, quality care.”
