Previous Board memberships also include: Visiting Nurse Service, Inc. of Indiana; Indiana Foundation for Hand Surgery Research and Education, Inc.; the Ruth Lilly Center for Health Education; the Marion County Mental Health Association, the Governor’s Task Force on Organ Transplantation; and MDwise, a Medicaid managed care entity.
