Gentry as Vice Chair; and Valley Health System President and CEO Mark H. Merrill as Secretary-Treasurer. Other Board officers include Virginia Hospital Center President and CEO James B. Cole, the immediate past Chairman of the VHHA Board; and VHHA President and CEO Sean T. Connaughton.

In addition to the Board officers, VHHA’s Executive Committee also includes Bon Secours Virginia Health System CEO Toni R. Ardabell, Carilion Clinic Executive Vice President and Carilion Medical Center CEO Steven C. Arner, and Inova Vice President and Inova Fair Oaks Hospital CEO John L. Fitzgerald.
