Bertha Coombs

Bertha Coombs covers health care, financial, and business news at CNBC. Her health care coverage has focused on the push by health insurers, retailers, and digital health start-ups to make health care more consumer-centered through primary care and in-home health programs and on how the shift toward value-based care has accelerated their efforts to acquire companies that can help them build those services. Over 20 years at CNBC, Coombs has covered the tech sector from the Nasdaq Marketsite and general market news from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Before joining the network, she reported for the streaming business network, Yahoo Finance Vision. Prior to that, she served as a reporter for ABC News One and as a substitute anchor for “World News Now” and “World News This Morning.”
