President And Chief Executive Officer
CurrentUnder Holmberg’s leadership, Highmark Health successfully navigated the tumultuous post-ACA years as well as the financial turnaround of Allegheny Health Network, which delivered 11 consecutive quarters of positive operating income prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and has expanded to include 14 hospitals in western Pennsylvania, as well as five multi-specialty medical malls. In 2019, Holmberg successfully negotiated an agreement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General to ensure western PA residents continued access to the region’s two leading health systems. In 2020, Highmark Health’s financial strength and stability enabled the rapid deployment of resources needed to diagnose, treat, and support the organization’s members and patients through the COVID-19 pandemic. It also enabled the implementation of a bold transformation strategy designed to lead the change in the health care experience for consumers through affordable, accessible, high-quality, community-based medicine and coverage options. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated that strategy due to Highmark Health’s differentiated position in the industry as a vertically integrated payer-provider.
