Wade Norwood to lead Common Ground Health

Community leader and New York State Regent Wade Norwood will succeed Trilby de Jung as CEO of Common Ground Health, the region’s health planning organization.

Currently chief strategy officer for Common Ground Health, Norwood brings to the position more than three decades of service in public office, education and regional health improvement. His appointment, effective July 13, was unanimously approved by the Common Ground Health Board of Directors in January, following the resignation of de Jung, who will rejoin her family in Portland, Oregon, after her youngest son graduates from high school.
