KFF’s Chief Executive to Retire

Drew Altman, the founding president and chief executive of KFF, who helped shape the organization into one of the nation’s most influential nonprofit health policy sources, told his staff on Wednesday that he would retire at the end of the year.

Dr. Altman, 75, has worked at KFF since 1990. It was formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation.

He will be replaced by two senior KFF executives, Larry Levitt, 63, who will serve as chief executive, and Mollyann Brodie, 59, who will serve as president.

Under Dr. Altman’s tenure, KFF has become a primary supplier of information and data on many of the most fiercely debated topics in health care, including the Affordable Care Act, vaccines and gender-affirming care.
