Maine Senate Confirms New Members to Maine s State Workforce Board
AUGUSTA - The Maine Senate confirmed five nominees to the State Workforce Board (SWB) in a vote held late Thursday afternoon. These five new SWB members, nominated by Governor Mills, are Adria Horn of Pittston, Allyson Coombs of Brunswick, The Honorable John Patrick of Rumford, Meryl Fogg Ryan of Falmouth, and Vaughan Woodruff of Pittsfield. With yesterdays confirmation vote by the Maine Senate, the State Workforce Board has gained five experienced leaders who will work to address the pressing needs of Maine employers and workers for a skilled workforce in high demand jobs, said MDOL Commissioner Laura Fortman. These five individuals are qualified, and well respected in their fields. I am confident their expertise will be beneficial to the Workforce Development Board as it tackles the important work ahead.

Silicon Valley types like to talk about disrupting things. But health care doesn’t want to be disrupted.
I get it. Who wants to see their medical care taken over by a bunch of techies willing to cut corners in their insatiable quest for growth? If Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes had continued to operate her business without oversight, who knows how many people would have been hurt?
Lately, I’ve been feeling that it’s time for us to move on from the narrative that a bunch of brash newcomers are moving into the health tech space and willfully harming people because they don’t respect the rules. To be sure, there are bad actors in health tech, just as there are in any sector. Instead, it’s time to consider a more nuanced alternative to this story.
