The Grand View Hospital Board of Trustees announced today the appointment of two new members along with the retirement of a longstanding trustee. As the governing body of Grand View Health, the board provides oversight and is charged with carrying out the health system’s mission of “leading our community to a healthier future.” The board consists of community members and medical staff members.

Joining the Grand View Hospital board are:

Philip Jackson, the Executive Vice President of Commercial Banking for Univest. A resident of Center Valley, Jackson has spent more than 30 years in banking and finance, holding numerous senior management positions. He has been involved with Grand View Health since 2019 as a member of the Grand View Health Foundation Board of Trustees. He’s a graduate of The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Mary “Martie” McCartney, RN, a nursing manager for more than 40 years at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). A resident of Schwenksville, McCartney also implemented Patient Facilitated Services at HUP, which delivers high-end, personalized care coordination to donors and friends of Penn Medicine. In addition, she served as a Nursing Consultant who mentored leadership candidates at HUP.

“Having experts in finance and nursing join our board gives us a well-rounded level of expertise that will help guide Grand View Hospital into the future,” said Robert Pritchard, JD, CPA, Chairman, Grand View Hospital Board of Trustees.

The Board also announced the retirement of William Aichele, who will leave both the Grand View Hospital and Grand View Health Foundation Boards of Trustees. Aichele’s service on the Grand View Hospital Board began in 2001 and included two years as Chairman, four years as Vice Chairman and seven years as Secretary.
