After practicing in the Lehigh Valley for over 20 years, Dr. Kimberly Legg Corba opened the first Direct Primary Care office in the Lehigh Valley on January 2, 2016.  The transition from her 13-year-old insurance-based practice to the DPC model has allowed her to continue to provide quality Primary Care; without the intrusion of third parties, she is able to focus on her patients’ needs.

Dr. Corba has been continuously board-certified since 1997 by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA)/AOBFP (American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians).

Before becoming a Direct Primary Care physician in January of 2016, Green Hills Direct Family Care operated as an office that accepted health insurance. Some of the hoops that insurance-based practices jump through include quality ratings by the insurance carriers; these time-consuming ratings have not been shown to improve patient care and only serve insurance companies who constantly try to cut their costs while costs for patients increase. Dr. Corba is proud to have been ranked #1 in quality measures as a family physician from 2010-2014 by Lehigh Valley Health Network. She is extremely happy that she is no longer subject to useless ratings by third parties; now it is just quality time between her and her patients.

Dr. Corba graduated with her medical degree from The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1993. She completed her Rotating Internship at Allentown Osteopathic Medical Center in 1994. From 1994-1995, Dr. Corba completed a year of residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Temple University Hospital; in 1995 she decided to pursue Family Medicine. She went on to complete her Family Medicine residency at The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in March 1997 after which she was an Associate Clinical Professor at PCOM (3/97-7/97) before joining Norriton Family Medicine in Norristown, PA until 2001. From 2001 until 2003 she practiced at Emmaus Avenue Family Practice; then in July 2003 she opened Green Hills Family Health Care as a solo Family Practitioner. After 12 ½ years as an insurance-based practice, Dr. Corba transitioned her office to Direct Primary Care in January 2016. Dr. Corba has been an Associate Clinical Professor with the LVHN Select program through which she precepts third-year medical students who are interested in DPC since 2014.

Other accolades include, as a member of the board of DPC Action, being involved with health policy and advocacy with lawmakers and White House leadership in Washington DC from 2018 to the present. Dr. Corba founded The Pennsylvania Direct Primary Care Association® in 2018. In 2019, she applied for and received the first Practice Innovation Grant from the Pennsylvania Medical Society which was awarded to the PADPCA®. Since 2021, she has been a member of NFIB’s Leadership Council and PAC Committee. After being Member-At-Large for the Lehigh County Medical Society, Dr. Corba has served annually as a member of the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s House of Delegates representing Lehigh County since 2019. In 2016, she received a scholarship to complete the PAMED Society’s Year-Round Leadership Academy. Dr. Corba also maintains annual certification as an Officer of Healthcare Compliance and a Certified Health Care Officer through the American Institute of Healthcare Compliance.

In her community, Dr. Corba served as a board member for the Parkland School District Education Foundation (PSDEF) from 2013-2022. In 2023, she was nominated and awarded the honor of being one of PSDEF’s 2023 inductees into the Parkland High School Distinguished Alumni Wall of Fame for her contributions to the medical profession, policy advocacy, and Parkland community. Dr. Corba was Alumni Chapter Advisor for the Alpha Chi Omega sorority at Muhlenberg College from 2009-2014; in this role she helped the organization write new policies to remain in compliance with college and national standards, most notably an academic requirements policy.  She volunteered as a youth basketball coach for 10 years with South Whitehall Youth Association from 2005-2015 and as a Sunday School teacher at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Nativity from 2013-2018.

In Dr. Corba’s downtime, she loves spending time with her family—husband Dr. Robert Corba and two children, two dogs, and a cat. She is also a gardening enthusiast and loves time at the beach.
