HREI welcomes new Edit Board members

ADDITIONAL INDUSTRY LEADERS SIGN ON TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE AND FEEDBACK

By Murray W. Wolf

Healthcare Real Estate Insights has added nine members to its Editorial Advisory Board, and two other individuals have been selected to serve on behalf of former board members from their firms.

 

The newly expanded board is composed of 21 widely recognized industry leaders active in healthcare real estate development, financing, advisory services, consulting and other areas, according to HREI editor John Mugford.

 

“The board is strictly an advisory body – a good one at that,” Mr. Mugford explains. “They are all demonstrated healthcare real estate industry leaders, and we really value their advice and feedback.”

He says that board members are asked to share “their knowledge, guidance and time to ensure we continue to report the most relevant, accurate and significant healthcare real estate news and information.”

The new board members include:

■ Jeffrey H. Cooper, Granite Partners

■ Todd W. Lillibridge, Lillibridge

■ Angela Mago, KeyBank Healthcare Group

■ Malcolm S. Sina, DASCO Cos.

■ John R. Smelter, Marcus & Millichap

■ Roni Soffer, ProMed Properties Inc.

■ Thomas W. Tift III, HealthAmerica Realty Group LLC

■ Gregory C. Venn, NexCore Group LP

■ Charles B. Vogt III, BremnerDuke Healthcare Real Estate

In addition, two individuals have stepped in to serve on behalf of former board members from their firms:

■ Vincent M. Cozzi, Ventas Inc., who has taken the place of Raymond J. Lewis, who stepped down from the board

■ David M. Strachan, Rendina Cos., who has taken the place of the late Bruce A. Rendina

Continuing board members include:

■ Philip J. “P.J.” Camp, Shattuck Hammond Partners

■ Charles A. Elcan, Medcap Properties Inc.

■ Frederick L. Farrar, Windrose Medical Properties Trust

■ Sharon Harper, Plaza Cos.

■ James M. Moloney, Cain Brothers & Co.

■ Kevin O’Neil, Trammell Crow Co.

■ William B. Roberson, CIT Group

■ Robert A. Rosenthal, Pacific Medical Buildings

■ Brent Tharp, GE Commercial Finance

■ Jonathan L. Winer, Ernst & Young

The board’s contributions include:

■ Providing ideas for the direction of the publication and ancillary products

■ Contributing ideas for news or feature coverage

■ Providing critiques on the content of the publication

■ Giving occasional interviews or quotes for writers and editors

■ Participating in annual roundtable discussions about hot topics

■ Meeting periodically to discuss trends in the industry (to be published as a panel discussion in the newsletter) and to critique the newsletter

“Another key function of the board is to offer feedback regarding our new business ideas,” Mr. Mugford says. “We are always looking for ways to bring added value to our subscribers and clients, and the board provides a vital reality check on our various brainstorms.”

The healthcare real estate business boats many highly talented individuals, he adds, which “always makes it extremely difficult to narrow down our selections” for the board.

“There are many qualified candidates but only a limited number of openings,” he says. “The final selections were the individuals who have been the most supportive of HREI since the publication was launched in January 2003.”

 

Industry leaders who were not asked to be on the board at this time should not feel slighted, Mr. Mugford emphasizes.

“As the board turns over in future years, we look forward to bringing on other qualified members,” he says. q
