ImproveCareNow (ICN) is pleased to announce the appointment of seven new members to its Board of Directors. Each member will help support ICN’s work to transform the health, care and costs for all children and adolescents with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD) by building a sustainable collaborative chronic care network.
The incoming class of ImproveCareNow board members marks a new phase of maturity for our Network’s Board of Directors. Our new, multi-stakeholder board configuration better represents ImproveCareNow’s diverse community and incorporates the recommendations made as a result of the 2019-2020 Digital Asset Governance project. We are grateful to the board members that have supported our network’s development to this point and are confident that with the addition of these new members, ICN is poised to advance our mission to transform the health, care and costs for all children and adolescents with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
