The Cornerstone Family Healthcare Board of Directors has appointed David Jolly as the community health center’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 6, 2023.

In that role, he was instrumental in leading the health center’s COVID-19 response, digital transformation—including a new electronic medical records system and telehealth services—and pediatric foster care program.
“The Board of Directors is excited for what Dave will bring to the table as Cornerstone begins its next chapter,” said Wayne Day, chairman of Cornerstone Family Healthcare’s Board of Directors. “In his time at Cornerstone, Dave has demonstrated his dedication to the health center, its employees, and the patients and communities we serve.”

“Dave has proven himself to be an exemplary leader with the right combination of sound principles, a patient-centered focus, and strategic vision to propel Cornerstone Family Healthcare into its next phase of success,” said Linda Muller. “I know that Dave is just as committed to our patients and staff as I am, and he shares my belief that everyone has a right to high-quality, affordable healthcare that meets them where they are.”
