The UNC Health Nash Board of Commissioners welcomed two new members at its January meeting. Allen Corbett III and Stephen Barnes were sworn in during the meeting, while board member and Secretary Damian Tucker officially concluded his nine-year term. Current board member Kristen Brabble assumed the open role of Secretary after Tucker’s departure.
“Our board of commissioners give so much of their time and talents to help guide the strategic direction for UNC Health Nash,” said Dr. L.

We also thank Mr. Tucker for his committed service to our board and community over the last nine years, and congratulate Mrs. Brabble on stepping into her new role as board Secretary.”
