Dr. Henry Ting has been appointed as Delta’s first Chief Health Officer; a role created in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ting currently serves as the enterprise Chief Value Officer at Mayo Clinic, which has been advising the airline on employee testing, strategies for cleanliness and operational tactics to reduce the transmission of the virus, since the start of the pandemic.
“Caring for our people is a core responsibility that flows from our values,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian wrote in a memo to employees. “In this new role, Henry will lead us in rethinking and reimagining our approach to health and well-being, utilising new technologies, artificial intelligence, data strategies and innovative partnerships.”
“We know we can continue to improve and establish Delta as a model for how organizations promote physical and mental health,” Bastian said.
