C-TAC Appoints Two New Board Members
Nancy Brown, CEO of American Heart Association and
Rev. Dr. Major Lewis Jemison, Senior Pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church Bring Experience and Commitment to C-TAC
Nov. 20, 2014—The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) appointed two new members to its Board of Directors: Nancy Brown, of the American Heart Association (AHA) and Rev. Dr. Major Lewis Jemison, senior pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, OK, and former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc. The appointments were announced at C-TAC’s 2014 Member Meeting held in Washington, DC, November 17-18th. As the issues of advanced illness affect more people each day, including patients, their caregivers and families, and healthcare providers, C-TAC continues to add new energy and experience in order to further the organization’s mission.
Nancy Brown, a leading force with C-TAC since its inception, took over at the helm of the nation’s oldest, largest voluntary organization devoted to fighting cardiovascular diseases and stroke in 2009, after eight years as the AHA’s COO. We welcome her expertise, passion and decades of dedication to improving health and well-being of Americans, and look forward to her continued contributions to C-TAC.
Rev. Dr. Major Lewis Jemison brings his long-time devotion to, and knowledge of, building bridges within communities. His unique perspective will be invaluable in all of C-TAC’s work, specifically with the community action model focused on partnering health systems and the faith community to improve advanced illness care delivery.
