“The generous timeframe around Terry’s decision allows the Board to provide a thoughtful and effective transition of leadership,” said Chairman of the Board Thomas B.

Cavanaugh also serves on the Board of Directors of Highmark, a diversified health and wellness system based in Pittsburgh, Pa., and the third largest integrated health delivery and financing network in the nation.
