Primary Care Collaborative announces new Board officers

January 30, 2020 (WASHINGTON, DC) – The Primary Care Collaborative (PCC) today announced the appointment of Darilyn Moyer, MD, FACP; Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, American College of Physicians (ACP), as Chair of the PCC Board of Directors. Moyer has been a member of the Board for three years and most recently served as Vice Chair. She has not only been vital in helping PCC move toward the quadruple aim of better care, better health, lower costs, and greater joy for clinicians and staff, but has also been integral in leading ACP to take decisive action toward improving primary care, including their recent statement calling for healthcare reform.

“I am thrilled to take the helm of the PCC Board,” said Moyer. “This organization brings together stakeholders that share a common passion – making primary care the foundation of our health system. Doing so will improve quality, affordability, and make our system more responsive to patient needs and preferences.”

Moyer replaces Jill Hummel, JD, President & General Manager, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Connecticut (Anthem) who now serves as the Immediate Past Board Chair. During her tenure as Chair, Hummel worked tirelessly to strengthen the PCC and support its efforts to advocate for primary care.

In addition, Mark Del Monte, JD, CEO & Executive Vice President, American Academy of Pediatrics, has been named the Vice Chair.

“The PCC Board is a microcosm of the PCC membership,” said Ann Greiner, President and Chief Executive Officer, Primary Care Collaborative.  “Its diversity is its strength. We believe uniting disparate voices around payment and delivery reform efforts is the way to best achieve the kind of care envisioned by the Shared Principles of primary care.”
