Cuffe

Siloam Health, a charitable clinic for the uninsured, has announced the addition of four business and community leaders to its board of directors. These additions to the board come just after the ministry celebrated 25 years of service in the Nashville-area, marked by a 25-year anniversary gala at the end of the year attended by over 900 individuals and the introduction of a fresh logo mark and brand package that captures the welcoming spirit of the organization.

The four new board members are:

Dr. Michael Cuffe, president & CEO, HCA Physician Services

Darin Gordon, president & CEO, Gordon & Associates, LLC

Krista Koleas, R.N.S., M.S.N., nurse manager, Nashville Skin & Cancer

Ahmed Konteh, key retailing rollout manager, The Kroger Co.

Located at 820 Gale Lane, off of Franklin Pike, Siloam now features a staff of 39 working in concert with more than 400 volunteers and dozens of collaborating partners to see roughly 5,000 individual patients annually who come from all over Middle Tennessee. Many of Siloam’s patients are immigrants and refugees representing more than 80 countries around the world.

The four newest board members represent a wealth of relevant ability and experience as healthcare executives, practitioners and even immigrants. A review of their respective backgrounds and expertise highlights how they will directly aid Siloam in the extension of its mission:

Cuffe is responsible for oversight of HCA’s physician agenda, including employed and managed providers, provider recruitment, hospital-based physician services, emergency department call, provider staffing joint-ventures, graduate medical education, and quality and government program compliance. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earned his M.D. from the Duke University School of Medicine and his M.B.A. with certificate in health sector management from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
