Mista Lauber has been named Bowen Health executive director, Northeast Indiana. She will be responsible for operations, performance and furthering community relationships to connect Bowen Health to individuals in need of health services in DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley counties, according to the release.
“I am humbled and excited to move into this new role,” said Lauber. “Expanding our services to include primary care for our patients in northeast Indiana this year has meant more individuals getting the quality healthcare they deserve regardless of their ability to pay. I look forward to working with our team to expand those opportunities even further.”

She served as assistant county director in Plymouth and Warsaw before assuming the director position in Whitley County in 2019.
