Kari Severson Snaza is the Co-Founder and CEO of Oasis Health Partners®. Her family roots run deep in rural communities across the Midwest, where she witnessed firsthand the stark inequities in care between small towns and big cities. Those formative experiences sparked her lifelong commitment to transforming healthcare.
Over the course of her career, Kari has worked extensively in value-based primary care, partnering with health systems and health plans across the U.S. and internationally. Most recently, she served as Chief Strategy Officer at Mayo Clinic, following a fifteen-year career at UnitedHealth Group. These experiences have given her a clear perspective on what great care looks like – and where meaningful opportunities still exist.
Looking ahead, Kari is driven by a vision to make healthcare more resilient, patient-centered, and sustainable.
