Our Team

Donald Cornforth, M.D., President and CMO, Incentive Health IPA

Dr. Cornforth is a retired diagnostic radiologist and a serial entrepreneur. He’s been organizing provider groups and developing innovation health care solutions since he started Colorado’s first Independent Practice Association back in 1982.

Association back in 1982. Don spent six months visiting with local business leaders, listening to their problems about the health care and insurance system. He gathered innovated ideas and recruited other doctors in private practice, organizing his group around three core values; improved service, value and transparency.

Those are the roots of his current work with Incentive Health. It’s the natural culmination of everything Dr. Cornforth has done over the last 50 years. He’s watched the cost of care escalate, while the value erodes and is compelled to spend his retirement doing something about it. He built Incentive Health on his original ideals, while adding sophisticated new tools and technology enabling integrated care, coordinated services and eliminating waste.
