Dallas-based Parkland Health & Hospital System welcomed Robert Martinez to its board of managers.
Mr. Martinez, who is a litigator with experience in civil, criminal, arbitration and regulatory areas, will replace Patricia Gorman, a member of the board since February 2011.
"We welcome Mr. Martinez to the Parkland Board and hope, like myself, he finds that serving on the Parkland Board of Managers is both an honor and a privilege," Debbie Branson, board chair, said in a statement. "We also want to thank Patricia Gorman for her service to Parkland and the citizens of Dallas. She never wavered in commitment and dedication to the staff and patients."
Mr. Martinez has extensive board service experience, including public speaking engagements and general counsel roles. He holds a juris doctor from Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich., where he also earned his bachelor's degree.
