    John Wilgis, MBA, RRT, vice president for member and business relations for the Florida Hospital Association and Mary Casey Lockyer, MHS, BSN, RN, CCRN, former disaster health services program lead at the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, have been appointed to Powered for Patients’ Board of Directors.

    Both are recognized experts in their respective fields and bring unique skillsets that dovetail with major initiatives underway. Wilgis is known among state hospital associations as one of the most battle-tested colleagues, a reputation earned from having led the Florida Hospital Association’s disaster response to a number of major hurricanes over the years. Having seen first-hand how threats to hospital emergency power can impact patient access to care during power outages, he has a deep understanding of the importance of P4P’s work advancing hospital emergency power resilience.

    He has also worked as a registered respiratory therapist, a role that involved providing clinical care to patients requiring ventilator support. This experience is perfectly suited to P4P’s new focus on boosting power outage support for life support users living at home.

    Lockyer’s years of experience with the American Red Cross also aligns with this important new area of work.

    During her tenure at the American Red Cross, she saw first-hand the challenges facing individuals who rely on electric-powered medical devices and sought refuge in disaster shelters, many of which were ill-equipped to provide the services and supports these individuals required.
