Northeast College Board of Trustees Chair Lizzio Completes Service; College Announces New Board Leadership

At its June 2022 meeting, the Northeast College of Health Sciences Board of Trustees celebrated the accomplishments of longtime member and outgoing chair Dr. Frank Lizzio (D.C. '80), as well as welcomed new chair Dr. Rick Rosa (D.C. '96).

A member of the College's Board of Trustees since 2007, Lizzio began his tenure as Board chair in 2019. He also served as vice president and president of the College's  Alumni Association from 1997 to 2006. In addition, Lizzio was an adjunct assistant professor at the College and served as a faculty clinician at the College's outpatient health center in Levittown.

"We are grateful for the guidance and experience of Dr. Lizzo during his past years as chair and as a member of the Board," said Northeast College President Michael Mestan. "His contributions have made a great impact on not only Northeast but on the whole healthcare profession." 

Lizzio is succeeded by fellow College alumnus and current member of the Northeast Board of Trustees Dr. Rick Rosa. Rosa is a former College faculty member and currently owns and operates 13 clinics in the Washington, D.C. area. As well, he is the founder of RecoveryDoc, a consulting company specializing in care of professional athletes.

President Mestan shared a warm welcome for the incoming Board chair. "Dr. Rosa is an outstanding leader, one whose vision and dedication will certainly be of great value as we continue to move our College forward," Mestan said. "I look forward to working with him in his new role."
Also at the June 2022 meeting, Mr. Tim Brown was elected to a second term as Board vice chair. As well, Dr. Susan Fries (D.C. '05) will continue to chair the Committee on Trustees, and Dr. Chuck Ventresca (D.C. '85) joined that committee as a new member.
