“Don will be a tremendous addition to Banner,” said Scott Nordlund, EVP, chief strategy and growth officer for Banner Health. “He is a highly accomplished leader in health system marketing and communications and brings a track record of success across the spectrum – from communicating how an organization is executing against its mission to enhancing the digital touchpoints that today’s consumers expect.”
