Corwin Harper is the Chief Executive Officer at Northshore and Mississippi Gulf Coast Region of Ochsner Health. When it comes to the healthcare system for the people, he always strives to be an empathetic and trustworthy leader by implementing humanity through healthcare. His mission is to provide healthcare to all with a strong focus on social and educational equity to improve humanity.
Recently, he had the opportunity to speak on Becker’s Hospital Review where he discusses the importance of having strong values, how his military experience has shaped the way he leads, social determinants of health, and more. He brings out the best in people and is insightful of their areas of weakness.
In the following video, Corwin gives insight into the growth of his professional journey; starting out as an army officer and slowly rising to where he is. He also talks about his mission of giving back to the community and future plans for the healthcare industry. Finally, Corwin talks about the launch of the Medicare Advantage Health Plan, which provides care to people without having to pay to break the bank.
“In 1986, I started my professional journey as a medical service officer in the United States Army. After being in the army for eight and a half years, I spent two years at Mount Sinai Health System in Chicago. My journey continued with Kaiser Permanente for the next 25 years, and now I am the Chief Executive Officer at Ochsner Health.
“I am living out my dream of being closer to home, closer to family, continuing to pursue my healthcare career, and making great contributions in the Southeast part of the country.”
“Ochsner Health’s mission is to make the overall state of Lousiana healthier, to continue to grow and provide care not just across the state of Lousiana but also in key communities in the state of Mississippi.”
“We just launched our Medicare Advantage Health Plan last year, so it gives us a chance to play in the decapitated value-based care world to provide care to patients in a very preventive and forward-thinking manner.”
