Keith G. Myers is a Chairman & CEO Emeritus of LHC Group, Inc.(LHCG)

from 1994 until the company’s merger with Optum in 2023. Mr. Myers helped establish LHC Group as a single freestanding home health agency in rural St. Landry Parish, La. Along with his wife Ginger, a nurse, and a core group of concerned residents, he began out of concern for four elderly members of his small community who were unable to access home health services due to their rural location.

In June 2003, Mr. Myers was named Regional Entrepreneur of the Year in the field of healthcare services and inducted into the National Entrepreneur of the Year Hall of Fame in November of the same year. In 2015, he was inducted into the National Home Care & Hospice Hall of Fame.
