Ronald A. Paulus, MD, Mission Health’s President and CEO, has been selected to serve on the American Hospital Association’s Committee on Health Strategy and Innovation.

In reference to this appointment, Paulus said, “In such a rapidly changing time for healthcare, I cannot think of a more important committee on which to serve than one charged with finding ways to innovate and transform the way we deliver healthcare in our communities.”
