The Cooperative of American Physicians (CAP) has appointed Sarah Pacini as its new CEO, which will become effective 1 February.
Pacini previously served for Advocate Health Care, the largest health system in Illinois.
As CEO of both CAP and the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT), she succeeds James Weidner, who is retiring after serving as CEO since 1995.
She will work to enhance and extend CAP's core businesses, MPT and the CAP Assurance Risk Purchasing Group, which provides access to medical professional liability protection, patient safety education, and risk management services.
Pacini brings to CAP extensive experience in health care, law, patient safety, captive insurance, claims and risk management, and medical professional liability.
Juan Cobo,chair of the MPT board of trustees, commented: "Throughout her career, she has worked hard to protect all stakeholders in the health care system.”
"Most recently she was responsible for forming a risk purchasing group to support and protect physicians in Illinois.”
“MPT is dedicated to serving the professional liability needs of California's finest physicians, and we're delighted to have Pacini on board as we continue to strengthen the organisation."
