The Wright State University Board of Trustees unanimously appointed the board chair at Premier Health, Jill Wilson, to act as a non-voting, national trustee on Wright State’s board.
Wilson, who is also president and CEO of Otterbein SeniorLife, will serve as Premier Health’s representative on Wright State’s Board of Trustees as part of the new 30-year affiliation agreement between Wright State and Premier Health.
“On behalf of the Premier Health Board of Trustees, I want to say how excited I am to continue to work with Wright State and the university’s trustees. I know our two organizations will do incredible things together,” Wilson said.
The affiliation agreement, which will lead to Miami Valley Hospital being formally recognized as an academic medical center, was first announced in December.
The agreement formally establishes a primary academic affiliation between Wright State and Premier Health. It includes all of Wright State’s colleges and academic programs and all of Premier Health’s sites of care.
Premier Health will pay Wright State $10 million in the first year of the agreement and $15 million in the second to increase the class size at Wright State’s Boonshoft School of Medicine and invest in Wright State’s nursing program.
