Karen Davis, who since 1995 has led The Commonwealth Fund in its drive to improve the performance of the nation’s health care system, plans to step down as the Fund's president on December 31, 2012.
"Karen Davis is one of the outstanding thinkers and leaders on health care reform," said James R. Tallon, Jr., chair of the Commonwealth Fund Board of Directors. "A distinguished health policy researcher, university department chair, and federal health agency executive, she positioned The Commonwealth Fund to make a major contribution to the recent health care reform debate and to the implementation of those reforms. The foundation is extremely fortunate to have had Karen at its helm at a time of great opportunity for improving the performance of our health system."
