Prior to his time at IHA, LePage served as chief medical officer of Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin, where he led clinical operations of the 700-physician multispecialty medical group. Before his time with Marshfield, he served in the United States Air Force as a Staff Interventional Radiologist at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.

LePage holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan and received his medical degree with distinction from the University of Michigan Medical School. He also holds a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Finance from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, and completed a Value Measurement for Health Care course at Harvard Business School.

He currently serves on the American Medical Group Association Public Policy Committee, the Board of Trustees for St. Mary Mercy Livonia Hospital, the Ann Arbor SPARK Board of Directors, and the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti Regional Chamber Board of Directors.
