Project Independence is pleased to welcome Brian Worthington as the newest member of our Board of Directors. Brian brings extensive leadership experience in the healthcare industry, a strong commitment to community service, and a personal understanding of the importance of independence and inclusion for people with disabilities.
Brian is an accomplished healthcare executive specializing in medical equipment and supplies. He currently serves as Senior Vice President of Apria and Byram Healthcare, where his work focuses on helping individuals access essential healthcare products and services that support their health, well-being, and quality of life.
In addition to his professional leadership, Brian is actively involved in industry advocacy and community service. He serves as a council member with the American Association for Homecare, an organization dedicated to advancing access to quality home-based care and medical equipment. He also serves as Chair of the Diamond Bar Planning Commission, contributing his leadership and expertise to the future of his community.
For Brian, the mission of Project Independence is deeply personal. His son, Patrick, who lives with cerebral palsy, has given him firsthand insight into the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their families, as well as the importance of access to meaningful opportunities, supportive services, and community inclusion.
This personal connection brings an especially valuable perspective to his role on the Board. Brian understands that independence looks different for every individual and that having the right resources, encouragement, and opportunities can make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
As Project Independence continues its mission of empowering people with developmental disabilities to live independently, work successfully, and participate fully in their communities, Brian’s combination of professional expertise, community leadership, and personal experience will be a valuable asset.
We are delighted to welcome Brian to the Project Independence family and look forward to the insight, dedication, and perspective he will bring to our Board of Directors as we continue creating opportunities for greater independence, choice, and inclusion throughout Orange County.
