Brentwood-based Premise Health has named Michael Mirt chairman of its board of directors.
Mirt is an executive advisor with Chicago-based Water Street Healthcare Partners, which was an investor that backed the formation of Premise Health. The worksite health company was the result of the merger between CHS Health Services and Take Care Employer Solutions, a former subsidiary of Walgreen Co. The company manages more than 500 worksite health clinics.
Previously, Mirt served as president of HealthSpring before it was acquired by Cigna three years ago.
“We are honored to have a leader of Mike’s caliber join our board of directors,” Stuart Clark, Premise Health CEO, said in a release. “His experience in advancing initiatives to improve the cost and quality of health care with the nation’s leading payers will be invaluable to our company. In particular, it will benefit our ongoing work to engage the worksite health center model in new ways to support organizations with improving the health of employees and their family members.”
