UVA Health CEO Craig Kent resigned on February 25. His resignation comes after a months-long investigation into Kent and School of Medicine Dean Melina Kibbe, prompted by a publicly released letter of no confidence signed by 128 physicians in September of 2024.
Kent handed his resignation to UVA President Jim Ryan following a special session meeting of the Board of Visitors. During the closed session, board members were presented with the results of the investigation into allegations made in the letter of no confidence.
At press time, Kibbe has not resigned or publicly responded to the investigation or Kent’s departure.
Prior to his resignation, Kent was the highest-paid employee at UVA, with an annual salary of $1.6 million after receiving a $500,000 raise in 2024.
