Private equity-backed radiology provider LucidHealth recently appointed a new CEO, the company announced Thursday.
Steve Corbeil took over the role on Nov. 13, having previously joined the Columbus, Ohio-based company in 2018. He was initially appointed as an independent director of the board and from 2019-2020 served as executive chairman, providing “invaluable advisory and strategic direction to private equity owners, physician partners, and executive management.”
LucidHealth did not give a reason for the departure of previous CEO Asif Ahmad, who filled the role from 2020-2023.
“We are fortunate to bring Steve’s experience and his proven dedication to patient care into our day-to-day operations,” radiologist and Chief Medical Officer Mark Alfonso, MD, said in a Nov. 30 announcement. “His leadership background aligns with our vision, and he has a strong history with LucidHealth as a well-regarded member of our board. We look forward to working with him as we close out the year and shape our footprint throughout 2024.”
Before joining LucidHealth, Corbeil served as president of hospital giant HCA’s TriStar Division from 2011-2016. In that role, he oversaw a $2.7 billion system that manages care for over 500,000 patients across 120 outpatient sites in Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia. He also previously served as president of HCA’s Midwest Division, managing Kansas City’s largest health system and physician group.
LucidHealth bills itself as one of the “largest physician-owned, outsourced providers of radiology services in the country.” The company delivers reads to hospital and outpatient facilities across seven states in the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast. LucidHealth was first founded in 2016, in part, with funds from private equity firm Excellere Partners.
