HealthLeaders: Sarah Chavarria’s first day as Delta Dental CEO

HealthLeaders caught up with Sarah Chavarria on her first day as CEO of Delta Dental. This is what she had to say.

"As I step into my role as CEO of Delta Dental, I'm energized about the bright future ahead. We are a purpose-driven organization focused on bringing together oral health with total well-being. The next several years are going to bring opportunities that will enable us to deliver on our purpose to provide access to quality care for our 45 million members. Together, we will ensure our customers, providers and employees remain at the forefront of our business to improve health outcomes."
