One Utah Health Collaborative appoints first-ever co-chairs to lead Utah’s Stakeholder Community Board

Revere Health CEO Scott Barlow and Public Employees Health Program (PEHP) Managing Director Chet Loftis appointed

Salt Lake City – The One Utah Health Collaborative is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Barlow, CEO of Revere Health, and Chet Loftis, Managing Director of PEHP Health & Benefits, as co-chairs of the Collaborative’s Stakeholder Community Board. This influential group, composed of Utah’s top healthcare leaders, is dedicated to creating sustainable, accessible, and affordable healthcare solutions that address the needs of Utah residents.

As the Collaborative continues its mission to foster innovation and improve healthcare quality across Utah, this Board provides a unique forum for strategic alignment among payers, providers, policymakers, and community advocates. Under the guidance of Mr. Barlow and Mr. Loftis, the Board will identify impactful actions, drive transparency, and support a culture of accountability across healthcare organizations.

“We have a moral imperative to fix the system,” Barlow said. “I don’t believe we have any choice but to do so. And this is what it’s going to take: leadership, organizational actions, and accountability.” 

Barlow’s commitment to improving healthcare accessibility and affordability will be a strong foundation for the Board’s work.

“When the Collaborative got started, for me it was a little bit like, ‘Been there, done that,’” Loftis added. “But what’s gotten me excited is that we’re not thinking about things in a year-to-year way. We’re looking 15 years ahead to find a path forward that is really centered on what’s good for the community.”

Loftis’s insights and experience will be pivotal in leading the Board to identify and implement sustainable healthcare improvements for the state.

The Board works to align leaders from health systems, payers, employers, government, and patient advocacy to address the most pressing issues in healthcare delivery and access. Its vision for the future of Utah’s healthcare is rooted in collective action, transparency, and a commitment to advancing care that benefits everyone.
