SYRACUSE — HealtheConnections has appointed Sara Wall-Bollinger as its executive director for health planning, a role that will make her responsible for developing a new regional model of community-based health planning.
Wall-Bollinger had been executive director and CEO of Enable, a nonprofit that provides services to children and adults with disabilities in Central New York. She joins HealtheConnections shortly after the organization was formed in February by the merger of the Health Advancement Collaborative of Central New York and the Central New York Health Systems Agency.
HealtheConnections provides health planning and regional health information organization (RHIO) services for 11 counties in Central New York. It has two main branches: HealtheConnections RHIO Central New York, which oversees an electronic health information exchange, and HealtheConnections HSA Central New York, which has the goal of engaging providers, consumers, businesses, and government in health planning.
“Sara brings a unique set of operational, planning and leadership skills to the organization, which will be extremely beneficial in involving the wide range of stakeholders in the region necessary to carry out community-based health planning,” HealtheConnections Vice Chairman William Conole said in a news release.
