The Arkansas Health Network (AHN), a physician-led, clinically integrated network (CIN) serving Arkansas patients, providers and employers, announced that Scott Huse has been appointed as its new Vice President for Employer Business Development. Huse’s responsibilities will include the overall growth and retention of both direct-to-employer partnerships and provider contracting, as well as network-wide communication functions with AHN’s network-wide stakeholders.

“Scott brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our clinically integrated network initiative,” said AHN President Bob Sarkar. “His expertise will be invaluable as we further develop our partnerships with employers, healthcare providers and insurers to build a healthier and happier workforce across the state.”

AHN is the largest and most successful CIN in the state of Arkansas. The organization currently manages over 111,000 patients across the state and partners with a growing network of nearly 2,400 providers, 26 Skilled Nursing Facilities and 16 hospitals in the state.

Huse most recently served as Director of Operations and Business Development for Community Health Systems in Northwest Arkansas, where he previously served as Market Sales Manager and Sales and Provider Operations. Huse earned his Bachelor of Science from St. Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City, Kansas.
