Board of Directors
How Does THIE Know So Much about Hospitals?
It’s Our Board of Directors’ Job.
At THIE, decisions aren’t made by detached corporate board members in ivory towers. As hospital administrators themselves, our board members are uniquely equipped to understand the needs and challenges of the hospital market. THIE is under the direction of a 11-member board of directors, comprising hospital C-suite leaders from across Texas and Oklahoma. Board members are elected by their peers from the THIE active subscribers.
