WOONSOCKET, R.I., Oct. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) today
announced several leadership updates, effective immediately:
- Executive Vice President, CFO and President of Health Services
Shawn Guertin will be taking a leave
of absence from his role due to unforeseen family health
reasons.
- Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance, Tom Cowhey, has been appointed interim CFO.
- CEO of Oak Street Health, Mike
Pykosz, has been named interim President of Health
Services.
"Our thoughts are with Shawn and his family during this
difficult period," said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. "The Board and I have every
confidence that Tom and Mike will ensure we continue to execute our
strategy seamlessly while we give Shawn time to be with his
family."
Cowhey joined CVS Health in February of 2022. He previously
served as CFO of Surgery Partners Inc., and before that spent more

co-founder of Oak Street, he built it into a leading multi-payor,
value-based primary care platform. During his time at CVS Health,
Pykosz has been focused on continuing to run the Oak Street
business, while also helping to unify all of CVS Health's care
delivery assets.
