president of health transformation and provider adoption at Blue
Shield of California, is the other

newly reappointed members Dr. Lawrence
Kosinski and Dr. Soujanya

"I firmly believe value-based care is needed for the continued
success of FQHCs and community health centers," said Dr. Bhansali.
"I am eager to collaborate with other like-minded experts on the
committee on how we can restructure and design payment models to
drive value for all Americans."
