WASHINGTON, D.C. – Barbara C. Larson of Edmond, Okla., administrative director for the INTEGRIS Metro Foundations in Oklahoma City, has been elected to the board of directors of the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP). She is regional director for the AHP Rockies and Southwest region.

“Barbara Larson is a skilled and devoted fundraising professional on behalf of health care causes in the Oklahoma City area,” said William C. McGinly, Ph.D., CAE, president and CEO of AHP. “She is a welcome addition to the AHP board of directors.”
Ms. Larson joined INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center Foundation in 1993 and today serves as administrative director for both the INTEGRIS Baptist and INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center Foundations.
