KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City on Thursday announced the election of two new members to its Board of Directors.

Ann Mesle, a retired Jackson County Circuit Court judge, was elected to complete the term of Ed Galan, who resigned in May from the board due to new job responsibilities.

Zori Rodriguez, executive director of SAVE Inc., was elected to complete the term of Susan Wilson, who resigned in March to take the position of vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

HCF also is accepting applications to fill seven upcoming vacancies on its 2015 board. Interested applicants should review the online nomination packet for a list of qualifications.
