National Seating & Mobility Announces Terri Kline as Board of Directors Appointment

NASHVILLE, Tennessee—National Seating & Mobility (NSM), a provider of complex rehabilitation technology, mobility and accessibility solutions in North America, announced the appointment of Teresa “Terri” Kline to the NSM Board of Directors.

“Terri brings significant transformational experience and depth of knowledge from the managed care world to our board,” said Crispin Teufel, NSM CEO. “A history of board service for growth-driven companies, strategic expertise and passion for mobility solutions make Terri an invaluable resource to our company.”

Kline most recently served as president and CEO of Health Alliance Plan (HAP), which was part of the Henry Ford Health System. In that role, she led an extensive turnaround of the plan which spanned all lines of business—Medicare, commercial, Medicaid and individual. Before this, she served as chief health care management officer at Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), where she was responsible for their corporate strategy for managing medical costs and alignment of the company’s network contracting, pharmacy, medical and behavioral health. Kline began her career at Aetna and, in addition to HAP and HSCS, she has served in leadership positions at several other health care-related organizations.

“The mission of NSM aligns with my personal and professional philosophy,” said Kline. “I hope to bring a fresh perspective to the board from not only my experience in the healthcare industry, but also from my personal experience as a caregiver. I know how powerful the right mobility solutions can be.”

Kline also brings extensive corporate governance experience to NSM. She currently serves on the boards of two public companies (Amedisys and Owens & Minor) and, before its sale to Owens & Minor, she served on the board of Apria Healthcare. Kline is also on the board of SaVida Health, a private company focused on substance abuse disorders, as well as the board of Presbyterian Healthcare Services, an integrated delivery system.
