The University of Tennessee Health Science Center advisory board unanimously approved Dr. Phil Wenk, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Tennessee, as its chairman during its inaugural meeting Thursday, Feb. 14, on the university’s campus in Memphis.
The board was created by the University of Tennessee Focusing on Campus and University Success (FOCUS) Act, passed by the state Legislature in 2018. The FOCUS Act reduced and restructured the University of Tennessee board of trustees and created advisory boards for each main UT campus across the state.
