Celebrating Year 1998

In 1998, GHC-SCW members approved a proposal to add medical practitioners to the Board of Directors, strengthening the connection between governance and frontline care. The change followed a collaborative process led by Board President John Parr, practitioners and senior leadership to create more meaningful physician participation in the Cooperative’s future. 

Two physicians were elected to the Board on October 5, 1998: Dr. Ben Atkinson, who had joined GHC-SCW in 1978, and Dr. Fred Brodsky, Sauk Trails Clinic site chief, who joined in 1991. Their addition brought direct clinical insight into board decisions and reinforced a culture of shared leadership between care teams and governance. 

Why it matters: Including practitioner leadership in governance continues to influence how GHC-SCW balances quality, access and accountability today.
