The five new members are:
1. UPMC Somerset President Andrew Rush. He has been with the hospital for 17 years and has held several positions.
2. Mark Miller, vice president of facilities and support services. Mr. Miller has been with the hospital for 43 years.
3. Kristine Keefer Wolff, DNP, RN, vice president of patient care services and CNO. Dr. Wolff joined UPMC Somerset in May after serving as senior director of clinical operations at the UPMC Center for Nursing Excellence.
4. Tracey Stange, vice president of human resources. Ms. Stange oversees human resources at several UPMC hospitals.
5. Dale Fuller, CIO of UPMC Somerset. Mr. Fuller is also the CIO at UPMC Altoona (Pa.) and UPMC Bedford in Everett, Pa.
