Doyle tapped to replace Johnson on Boston health board

BOSTON – The Boston Board of Health got a new leader this week as Mayor Marty Walsh named Frank Doyle to chair the panel, replacing Dr. Paula Johnson, who is taking over this summer as the new president of Wellesley College.
Doyle, a lawyer, is the executive director of Boston HealthNet, an integrated health-care system comprised of 14 community health centers, the Boston Medical Center and the Boston University School of Medicine, according to a statement from the mayor's office on Tuesday. It said the network has used technology effectively to serve "vulnerable populations" in Boston.
