LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 30, 2020) — The Health Enterprises Network (HEN) Board of Directors, which includes over 50 of our region’s leaders from key health-related organizations, developed a new strategic plan which they are launching today. The intent of the plan is to help guide the organization’s mission to champion and foster the growth of the region’s health-related economy and to identify opportunities to promote Louisville as the location of choice for health-related businesses, researchers, educators and investors.
The strategic plan will help promote the region’s health care sector and identify areas for collaboration by focusing on four primary pillars. The first pillar will focus on collaboration within the health care ecosystem by identifying the critical partners who are driving success in the community and assisting their efforts. The second pillar will focus on economic development by partnering HEN member organizations with the region’s efforts to attract and grow health care businesses. The third pillar will help drive value to the health care community through events, policy discussions and educational opportunities. Finally, the fourth pillar will focus on branding and messaging and will help drive the conversation about the innovative stories of Louisville’s health-related companies.
To help drive the strategic plan, HEN appointed health care leaders to serve as Pillar Champions and serve as part of the Board of Director’s Executive Committee. The Pillar Champions are:
Health Care Ecosystem – Tom McMahon, Humana
Economic Development – Michael Bryant, Trilogy Health Services
Entrepreneurship – Jim Rives, Rives Development Associates
Health Care Fellows – Tony Brosky, Bellarmine University
Healthcare Policy – Dan Fischer, Dentons Bingham Greenebaum
Branding and Messaging – Richmond Simpson, Vimarc
“I am pleased that the Board of Directors helped drive a new strategic plan for the Health Enterprises Network that will help carry our organization forward so that we can continue to grow this vital sector in Greater Louisville,” said David Henley, VP and Chief Compliance Office of Passport Health Plan and current HEN Board Chair. “The passion our Board and Pillar Champions show for the community is what will help us create more economic opportunity in our region as well as transform health care across the globe.”
The Health Enterprises Network is the region’s premier health care business network. Formed by area leaders in 2000, HEN represents a diverse and growing industry, from hospitals and health services companies to medical device manufacturers and leading health law firms. HEN is the convener that breaks down barriers, opens doors, and is the catalyst for engagement with health care professionals and leaders.

In addition to the strategic plan, HEN announced the election of Tom McMahon, Market Vice President for Humana, as the Chair-Elect of the Board of Directors. Tom will assume the role as Chair of the Board of Directors in January 2021.
The Board also elected three new health care leaders to serve as Board members:
