CHIBE says farewell to Joelle Friedman, welcome to Wendy Voet as new managing director

After 16 years of distinguished service as CHIBE’s Managing Director, Joelle Friedman decided to move to Kentucky with her family.

Joelle played a pivotal role in many of our signature initiatives over her time at CHIBE including the creation of the Horizon BCBS consortium, the development of the Humana Simplicity health insurance plan, the Vitality partnership, and successfully managing us through 3 NIA Roybal P30 Center grant renewals.

We will greatly miss her and very much appreciate all of her efforts on CHIBE’s behalf. CHIBE celebrated Joelle and her contributions this spring.

Wendy holds a Master of Public Health from Tulane University and a B.A. with honors in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.
