AHA has elected Ascension CEO Joseph R. Impicciche to immediately fill a vacancy on its Board of Trustees effective through 2024. Impicciche currently serves on AHA’s Committee on Health Care Strategy and Innovation, and previously served on AHA’s Strategic Leadership Group on Provider-led Health Plans and Task Force on Health Care Liability Reform. 

“The AHA is an important voice for hospitals and health systems as we work to advance an environment that best meets the healthcare needs of those we serve,” said Impicciche. “I am honored and humbled to represent the perspectives of our associates, providers and communities as part of the AHA board.”

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healy last month named former AHA trustee Kate Walsh as the state’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.
