Lori Millner, the long-time chair of the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation’s Community Health Collaborative (CHC) and executive director of the DFW Area Health Education Center (DFW AHEC), was honored today for her leadership and upcoming retirement in August.
Millner was acknowledged during the CHC’s monthly meeting this morning at the DFWHC Foundation offices in Irving. She was presented flowers and gifts for what would be her final meeting with the collaborative.
“Lori has been such a great leader of the CHC since its inception,” said Sushma Sharma, director of public and population health research at the DFWHC Foundation. “We have been able to make great strides under her guidance and she will be sorely missed. We wish her the best of luck in her future adventures.”
The DFWHC Foundation’s CHC is made up of 32 members with expertise in public health, data analysis and strategic planning. The team is working towards understanding health and disease disparities in North Texas.
The DFW AHEC is hosted by and located at the UT Southwestern School of Health Professions and is one of nine centers of the East Texas AHEC. AHECs are community-based programs designed to address the primary health care workforce needs of medically under-served communities. AHECs focus on medically under-served areas, health profession shortage areas and the disadvantaged.
