GUTHMILLER ASSUMES ROLE OF CHAIR-ELECT OF IOWA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Marty Guthmiller, CEO of Orange City Area Health System, was installed as Chair-Elect for the Board of Trustees of the Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) at their annual meeting in Des Moines in October. Guthmiller completed his term as Board Treasurer, where he monitored and reported to the IHA Board on finances. In his new role as Chair-Elect, he will step in for the Chair as needed as he prepares to lead the Board in 2018-19 by providing leadership and strategic direction for the Iowa Hospital Association overall. The IHA was founded in 1929 and as such, Guthmiller will be leading in the organization’s 90th year.
I am both honored and humbled to be involved with IHA in this capacity,” said Guthmiller. “I am quite certain that I will learn and gain much more than I will give. It is a great opportunity to bring that knowledge and understanding back to Orange City Area Health System for our collective benefit.” 
The IHA is a voluntary membership organization representing hospital and health system interests to business, government, and consumer audiences. All of Iowa’s 118 community hospitals are IHA members. In the state of Iowa, hospitals employ 72,000 people and have a $6.8 billion impact on the state’s economy.
