PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA—ECRI Institute, one of the nation's leading patient safety and medical technology research organizations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard M. ​Arons, ScD, managing director at Korn Ferry, as new board chair. Dr. Arons succeeds John B. Reiss, PhD, JD, who retired after holding the position for 18 years.

Dr. Reiss, currently vice president and general counsel of Doylestown Hospital, guided ECRI Institute through an important time of transition​​, beginning when its founder and CEO stepped down in 2001. During his tenure, Dr. Reiss cultivated a new management leadership team that tripled the growth of the international organization. Dr. Reiss' guidance, stewardship, and personal commitment to ECRI Institute's mission enabled the organization's growth and relevance.

“We extend our deep appreciation to Dr. Reiss for his guiding leadership, wisdom, and dedication to our mission for so many years," says Marcus Schabacker, MD, PhD, president and CEO, ECRI Institute.
