“We are excited that Jackie wants to serve on our Board. Her depth of knowledge about Middletown will assist us in furthering our mission in that area of Butler County.”
Phillips is a registered nurse and prevention educator with more than 30 years experience providing the community with health education.
Phillips also serves on the Centerpoint Health Board of Directors, Great Miami YMCA Board of Trustees, Family Children First Council of Butler County, Community First Solutions and the Middletown Arts Center Board of Governors.
