Terri Kline
National Seating & Mobility (NSM) has appointed Teresa “Terri” Kline to its board of directors.
In an April 25 announcement, NSM described Kline as a health-care industry veteran. Kline sits on the board of directors for Amedisys, a provider of home health, hospice, palliative and high-acuity care, as well as for Owens & Minor, provider of products and services to support care from hospital to home.
Most recently, Kline has served as president and CEO at Health Alliance Plan, part of the Henry Ford Health System. “In that role, she led an extensive turnaround of the plan, which spanned all lines of business — Medicare, commercial, Medicaid and individual,” the announcement said. “Prior to this, she served as chief health-care management officer at Health Care Service Corp., where she was responsible for their corporate strategy for managing medical costs and alignment of the company’s network contracting, pharmacy, medical and behavioral health.”
“Terri brings significant transformational experience and depth of knowledge from the managed care world to our board,” said Crispin Teufel, NSM’s CEO. “A history of board service for growth-driven companies, strategic expertise and passion for mobility solutions make Terri an invaluable resource to our company.”
Kline noted in the announcement that NSM’s mission aligns with her personal and professional philosophy. “I hope to bring a fresh perspective to the board from not only my experience in the health-care industry, but also from my personal experience as a caregiver. I know how powerful the right mobility solutions can be.”
