AAHomecare Taps Three New Board Members

WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 22, 2019)—AAHomecare is adding three respected HME veterans to join its leadership team. Filling recent at-large vacancies on the AAHomecare Board of Directors are:

Michelle Templin, vice president of legislative affairs and business development for Managed Health Care Associates (MHA). Templin currently oversees all the legislative and grassroots advocacy work that touches MHA’s diverse post-acute care membership. Additionally, she has led the strategy and management of the MHA ACO Network since its formation in 2013. She serves on multiple health care industry advisory and policy-setting leadership groups, including co-chairing the Government Affairs Committee of the National Association for Specialty Pharmacy.

Jeff Bowman, vice president of home medical equipment for McKesson Medical-Surgical. Bowman is responsible for setting the HME growth strategy, deploying the sales resources and aligning McKesson Medical-Surgical’s expansive capabilities to the HME market. Prior to joining McKesson in 2004, he helped to open several health care businesses in the Nashville area. These businesses primarily focused on reimbursement services, medical supply distribution and clinical services for the skilled nursing facility and homecare markets.

Todd Walling, senior vice president of sales for Permobil, Business Region Americas. Walling has been with Permobil for 11 years and has held numerous positions in regional sales and key accounts management. He has been a part of the rehab and assistive technology industry for 18 years and is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with disabilities. Prior to his time at Permobil, Todd served as rehab product manager and director of contract administration for The MED Group.

“The considerable industry expertise and leadership backgrounds these individuals bring to our Board will help us better meet the challenges facing the HME community,” said Tom Ryan, AAHomecare president and CEO. “As a member-driven organization, it’s critical to have highly capable and passionate professionals who can identify policy priorities and provide strategic direction. Michelle, Jeff, and Todd certainly fit that description, and I am sure their contributions will strengthen the Association going forward.”

The new Board members are filling vacancies created by the departure of Rhonda Hines, The MED Group; Robert Fahlman, Preferred Homecare; and John Goetz, Permobil.
