When Helen Darling joined the National Business Group on Health as its president over a decade ago, she recalls the move as the perfect culmination of her career, which, until that point, had involved everything from research to policy writing to benefits consulting and health care purchasing.
Her knowledge of health policy, corporate health plans and the health delivery system is encyclopedic, says Mike Davis, executive vice president, human resources, at General Mills, who was chairman of the NBGH board of directors when Darling was hired in 2001.
