Added Bennington-Davis, “I am thrilled with this decision—James truly lives his life to serve others and he’ll be an important asset for both Health Share and our communities.”
Schroeder officially joins Health Share February 19, 2020. In addition to his medical background and Medicaid expertise, Schroeder has a track record for collaborative leadership through his role as Executive Director of Healthcare Systems at CareOregon, as well as through various executive-level positions including CEO of Family Health Services—an FQHC based in Idaho—and as founder and CEO of Neighborhood Health Center in Portland.
“I’m thrilled at the opportunity to join a team that is clearly dedicated and passionate about serving communities and achieving the goals of the coordinated care model,” said Schroeder. “At the same time, I’m humbled by the challenges ahead and look forward to our work, together, to realize the goals of CCO 2.0 and our vision of a healthy community for all.”
