OHA’s new medical malpractice insurance company, Marsh USA, announced Susan Stanfield, vice president and health care practice leader, will assume the position of CEO beginning Dec. 16.
Stanfield began her insurance career as a hospital property/casualty underwriter for the Buckeye Union Insurance Company in the mid-1970s. She joined Marsh in 1985, specializing in advising hospitals, physician practices and other health care providers on risk management issues and the design of insurance programs.
OHA has filed an application for licensure of the new company with the Ohio Department of Insurance and expects it will be processed quickly. OHA anticipates the new company will be ready to write insurance early next year. For more, visit www.ohanet.org/med-mal/ <http://www.ohanet.org/med-mal/>.
