Mike Louge, executive vice president and chief operating officer of OhioHealth Corp., started a one-year term on Jan. 1, 2019 as chairman of the Ohio Hospital Association (OHA).

He's the first Central Ohio healthcare executive to lead the trade group since 2015, when the chair was Chip Hubbs III, CEO of Marysville-based Memorial Health.

The association represents 237 hospitals and 13 health systems in the state, lobbying the legislature on issues such as Medicaid and leading improvement initiatives for members, such as a recent drive to reduce deaths from systemic infection.
