Donna Meyer

2022 ICCR Legacy Award Recipient
Presented by: Cathy Rowan, Trinity Health

Biography

Donna Meyer has been a member of the ICCR coalition for 20 years having represented both Christus Health and Mercy Investment Services. She also served as a board member from 2007 – 2012. Donna is widely recognized as a leader of ICCR members’ work to promote the access and affordability of health care both domestically and globally as well as for her engagements around health risks associated with the food and beverage and tobacco industries. Donna’s deep expertise in public health has made her a sought-after resource for member engagements on all topics of health equity and she is known in our community as a generous and patient mentor.

While serving as Senior System Director for Community Health Services at CHRISTUS Health, Donna designed and developed the Socially Responsible Investment Program, and began to represent CHRISTUS at ICCR. In 2012, Donna began her work in shareholder advocacy for Mercy Investment Services focused on social justice in the promotion of community health. While Donna is perhaps best known for her impactful engagements with the pharmaceutical sector advocating for the accessibility and affordability of medicines, she also led a successful campaign with Rev. Michael Crosby, to eliminate the in-store advertising of tobacco products in circulars and was an early leader in ICCR’s access to nutrition work pressing food and beverage companies to improve the nutritional content of their products and to market them responsibly.

Along with Meredith Miller of the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, Donna led Investors for Opioid Accountability (IOA), which went on to become Investors for Opioid and Pharmaceutical Accountability (IOPA), coordinating the work of 60 institutional investors – including many ICCR members – to advocate for strengthened corporate governance structures to mitigate the risks of opioid misuse.
