Newest CAPG Board Members will Lead Ongoing Advocacy for Coordinated, Accountable Care Delivery


CAPG, the leading U.S. trade association for accountable physician groups, has named five new and returning organizations to its Board of Directors for 2015-16.

The newly elected board will continue leading CAPG's mission to transform healthcare nationwide through integrated, coordinated care systems-a model of delivery in which its members have practiced for many years.

"I'm pleased that our membership has elected an extremely strong and well-balanced board," said CAPG President and CEO Donald H. Crane. "One of our goals was to diversify the board in terms of organization type, size, geography, and other factors, and the new directors reflect the increasing variety and national makeup of our member groups.

"Our new and continuing board members have shown their commitment to providing coordinated, high-value medical care centered on patients," Crane said. "In this historic moment of reform and rapid change in U.S. healthcare, I look forward to their guidance as CAPG continues facilitating the move toward value-based delivery."
