AHN Leadership Team

 

 

Bob Sarkar joined CHI St. Vincent in 2015 as President & CEO of the Arkansas Health Network (AHN), a Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) that was created in 2014. His focus has been to ensure that AHN succeeds in improving the quality of care at a lower cost while improving the patient and provider experience across its network. Since his arrival, Bob has helped transform AHN into the largest and most successful CIN in Arkansas, and a national “Best Practice” in Value Based Care. Bob spear-headed AHN to be one of the top quartile of MSSP-ACOs in the industry that has successfully and repeatedly saved and received multi-million dollar shared savings from CMS.  Most recently, under Bob’s leadership, AHN successfully managed the 2020 CHI St. Vincent employee health plan population resulting in the highest quality score achieved among all CommonSpirit CINs and maximum pay-for-performance earnings.
