OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Senate has approved Gov. J. Kevin Stitt’s executive nomination of Kevin Corbett to serve as the Oklahoma Health Care Authority CEO.

“I am excited to continue leading OHCA, and I want to thank the agency team. Agency leadership changes over time, but this team has faithfully served Oklahoma for the past 25 years,” said OHCA CEO Corbett. “In my short time at the agency, I have been inspired by the expertise, dedication and passion they bring to work every day. Our agency’s core values, and heart, drive our success.” 

Under Corbett’s leadership, the agency has been diligently preparing to implement Gov. Stitt’s SoonerCare 2.0 plan on July 1. 

“With the support of our strong SoonerCare provider network, we are eager to continue serving our members and improving health outcomes of Oklahomans,” Corbett said. 

Corbett served as a senior partner and risk advisory practice leader with Ernst & Young, retiring in 2017 with more than 38 years of service. During his career, Corbett advised some of the largest companies in the U.S. and abroad, gaining extensive experience in a wide array of corporate matters, including public offerings, merger and acquisitions, debt restructurings, bankruptcy proceedings, risk management and transformational change.
