We are confident we will benefit from her fresh insight and perspective and are thrilled to welcome Amy to the TruBridge Board of Directors.”
O’Keefe will be replacing Denise Warren as she steps down from her role on the TruBridge Board of Directors to assume the role of Chairperson for Brookdale Senior Living (NYSE: BKD) where she has served on the board since 2018. O’Keefe will serve alongside Warren until her departure on November 15, 2024.
Tobin commented, “On behalf of the TruBridge Board of Directors and the management team, I want to express our gratitude to Denise for her service and dedication to TruBridge since joining the Board in 2017.
