Dan Kaelin as chairman and our 2 hospital CEO’s Mark O'Bryant and Sharon Roush are serving as Co-Vice Chairs. This gives us a significant commitment from these institutions for all our initiatives. Allen Byington of ElectroNet is currently serving as Executive Director and Zach Finn of Avocare is the Project Director.
