GCF Welcomes New Governing Board Members

Greater Cincinnati Foundation’s (GCF) Governing Board includes two new faces this year: Dr. Robyn Fortner Chatman and Timothy J. Maloney. The 18-member volunteer board is chaired by Christopher L. Fister.

Dr. Chatman, a native of Gulfport, Mississippi, is a past president of the Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati and immediate past president of the Ohio State Medical Association. A graduate of the Medical College of Ohio (now the University of Toledo Medical Center), she also earned a Master of Public Health degree from The Ohio State University and completed two years of training in health informatics at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Chatman is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and is board certified in Clinical Informatics. A Staff Physician at TriHealth, Dr. Chatman lives in Silverton with her husband, William McKeithen Jr.

“I have not forgotten the obstacles that had to be overcome in order to reach this point in my life and career,” said Dr. Chatman of the perspective she brings to the GCF board. “I am familiar with the struggle. I am happy to have the opportunity to work with others to level the playing field for those who follow.”
