Health Improvement Collaborative Appoints Four to Board of Trustees

The Health Improvement Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati has named four community leaders to its Board of Trustees. They are:

• Paul Brophy, executive director for UnitedHealthcare, Southwest Ohio
• Tim Cappel, market president for Humana of Ohio
• Noble A-W Maseru, Ph.D., M.P.H., health commissioner for the City of Cincinnati Health Department
• John Sinclair, principal and office leader of Health and Benefit Services for the Cincinnati office of Mercer Human Resource Consulting

As members of the Board of Trustees, the appointees will work closely with Executive Director Greg Ebel to oversee activities of the many various committees and task forces that work to help form solutions for improving community health status. “We value the time and talents that these four individuals will bring to the Collaborative as they assume their new roles on our Board of Trustees. I look forward to working with them toward our quest to bring about a healthier Greater Cincinnati,” said Ebel.

The Board structure ensures that a diverse range of stakeholder perspectives are represented. These stakeholders include hospital, insurance, physician, employer, community, education and government/public health interests.
