Cathy Barr Joins Pelvital USA, Inc. Board of Directors
I am very pleased to be joining the Pelvital Board and to help bring this new technology to patients.
Pelvital USA, Inc. announces that Cathy Barr has joined its Board of
Directors (Board).
Ms. Barr has more than 30 years of operational, strategic planning, and
senior leadership expertise. In previous roles as Regional President,
Chief Operating Officer, and Senior Vice President at Fairview Health
Services and HealthEast Care System in Minnesota, she led
multi-disciplined care delivery operations for a 2.7-Billion-dollar
Integrated Health Care System that served over 248,000 patients.
“Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and specifically stress urinary incontinence,
is an unmet clinical need affecting millions of women. From what I’ve
seen from the clinical results, Pelvital’s technology holds great
promise to provide a solution to most women who suffer from this
condition,” Barr said. “I am very pleased to be joining the Pelvital
Board and to help bring this new technology to patients.”
“Cathy started as a nurse in a neurology step-down unit in Philadelphia.
That experience developed her sensitivity to the personal issues that
affect patients and their families. Her role as the senior leader of
major health care systems created an understanding of the complexities
of the evolving health care profession. We look forward to Cathy
providing guidance to the Pelvital team as we bring the Flyte TM
incontinence product to market,” said Dale Wahlstrom, CEO.
Barr is a former president of the Women’s Health Leadership Trust, a
past member of its Board, and the 2013 recipient of its Jean Harris
Award. She was named a “Woman to Watch” by the Minneapolis/St. Paul
Business Journal and has been included on Becker’s Hospital Review list
of “Hospital and Health System Leaders to Know.” Barr was on the Board
of Cerenity Senior Care and was vice chair and a member of the boards of
CLUES and Community Health Charities. She holds an MBA from the
University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and a Bachelor of Science degree
in Nursing from Niagara University in New York.
