Karen Lynch oversaw major deals in 2023, with CVS acquiring both Oak Street Health, which provides primary care to older adults on Medicare, and Signify Health, which provides analytics and technology to support in-home health evaluations. As STAT explained last year, these bold moves — in keeping with the growing consolidation of the health insurance industry — pointed to a broader profitability strategy in which insurers are looking to provide primary care directly to patients. Industry observers will be following CVS closely in the year ahead to see how those bets pan out.
