LINCOLN- Governor Jim Pillen appointed a new Chief Executive Officer of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Tuesday afternoon. Starting Sept. 11, Dr. Steve Corsi will serve as the new CEO with a salary of $257,000. Former DHHS CEO Dannette Smith had a salary of $220,000 when she stepped into the role in 2019. “The opportunity to bring my experience in executive leadership to serve all Nebraskans is an honor,” said Steven Corsi.

Most recently, Corsi served as acting CEO of the Central Wyoming Counseling Center. He has been director and/or CEO of the Missouri Department of Social Services, Wyoming Department of Family Services, High Country Behavioral Health (Wyoming) and the Cornerstone Behavioral Health Group in California. In 2019, Corsi became president/CEO of Volunteers of America Western Washington, where he significantly recruited and retained the workforce, expanded early childhood offerings and grew the organization’s revenue.

“Steve brings a wealth of experience and leadership to DHHS, having served as director and CEO over a number of social service organizations, including state agencies in Missouri and Wyoming,” Pillen said. “In addition to his operational expertise, Steve has a strong servant focus when it comes to providing program services to those who need them. I look forward to working with Steve as he brings new direction and impact to DHHS.”
