SEATTLE, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- First Choice Health (FCH), a forward-thinking alternative to traditional health insurance, has announced the hire of Troy Williams as its Vice President of Health System Partnerships.

"Throughout my career, I've examined different ways for providers and employers to collaborate, looking at goals and incentives from each perspective and ultimately providing better value in healthcare delivery," Williams said. "This mission aligns perfectly with the work First Choice Health has been doing with clinically integrated networks, and I'm eager to join this initiative that will really show a tangible difference for members."
