He has a deep understanding of healthcare and a proven ability to drive transformational results. I know Sellers Dorsey is in capable hands as we continue to improve healthcare for underserved communities across the country.”

During Mr. Sellers’ tenure, Sellers Dorsey has been at the forefront of Medicaid financing and policy innovation, providing the necessary resources to safety-net hospitals, states, and others in the Medicaid program to better serve underserved populations. His vision and leadership helped transform the firm into a trusted partner for state governments, healthcare providers, managed care organizations, and advocacy groups nationwide.

On Mr. Seabaugh’s new role as CEO, Mr. Sellers added, “For the past 18 months, our board has conducted a comprehensive search for the right leader to take Sellers Dorsey into the future. I am confident Kevin is that leader. Under his leadership, Sellers Dorsey will be well-positioned to help clients navigate a rapidly shifting landscape while staying true to our mission of improving the quality of care for underserved communities. His experience and commitment to healthcare access, quality, and innovation align with the values that have driven our work for over two decades.”
