Gretchen Fierle

TITLE:
Vice President, Community Relations
and Communications, Independent Health

on which HORIZON BOARD(s) do you serve?
“I serve on the Health Management Group board.”

HOW DID YOU COME TO BE ON THE BOARD?
“Pete Grum (another Horizon board member) put forth my name as a possible candidate who would bring a new perspective to the board given my communications and marketing background.”

WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND MOST REWARDING ABOUT SERVING ON THE BOARD?
 “Horizon has a great leadership team and it is rewarding to collaborate about new growth opportunities for the organization.”

WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT HORIZON?
“I knew very little about Horizon prior to joining the board and yet, it is a fairly large organization.  Its name should be more widely recognized as the largest outpatient provider of mental health, chemical dependency and medical services in WNY.  It is a great resource for our community.”
