The people behind Astra

Two perspectives.One shared belief.

Melanie Rodriguez and Celio Hernandez founded Astra with a shared belief:

Healthcare can be rigorous, simple to navigate and deeply human.All at the same time.

Melanie RodriguezCo-Founder & CEO

Melanie Rodriguez

Brand. Experience. Trust.

Raised in Miami, Melanie is a local entrepreneur with extensive customer service experience in the primary care field. She understands the value of a warm welcome, a thoughtful conversation and a promise kept. At Astra, she leads the brand vision and patient experience, bringing those principles to life in the details, from the first phone call to the follow-up.

A devoted mother of two, she brings dedication, empathy and a belief that dreams take shape through everyday action to her leadership. She is passionate about turning ideas into reality and creating a place where people feel recognized, supported and at ease. For Melanie, growing Astra also means caring for the community that helped shape her.

Celio HernandezCo-Founder & Strategy

Celio Hernandez

Strategy. Technology. Connection.

Celio brings a deep background in data engineering, consulting and leading multiple businesses across the healthcare field. For more than ten years, he has worked alongside clinicians and primary care practices, gaining a close understanding of both the needs of care teams and the systems behind coordinated care. His expertise includes value-based payment models and working with Medicare Advantage health plans.

At Astra, he connects that experience with strategy, technology and partnership development. He is driven by turning complexity into clear processes and ambitious ideas into practical tools that serve people. His vision begins with a continuing question: how can we make healthcare smarter and more accessible while preserving what makes it human?
