Zeller And Drahos Join Wellington Regional Medical Center’s Board Of Governors
Wellington Regional Medical Center recently announced the appointment of two distinguished community leaders, Maggie Zeller and Michael Drahos, to its Board of Governors. Their extensive professional experience and deep commitment to the Wellington community will bring valuable perspectives to the hospital’s mission of delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Zeller, founder and independent health insurance advisor at Zeller Health Insurance Solutions LLC, has been a trusted advocate for individuals navigating the complexities of health insurance since 2013.
With a career spanning five decades in banking, business development and health insurance, Zeller is known for her integrity, personalized service and dedication to helping clients find coverage that meets their unique needs.
“When I was approached to serve, I was honored to even be considered,” Zeller said. “Of course, I agreed to serve.”
A Florida resident since 1991 and a resident of the western communities since 2002, Zeller is also a passionate community volunteer. She serves on the boards of the Wellington Rotary Club, the Wellington Community Foundation, Back to Basics and the YWCA, exemplifying her belief in giving back through service.
“I enjoy serving the Wellington community and feel that I can bring my expertise in the healthcare industry because of my relationship with my clients,” Zeller said. “I want to bring to the board the experiences that I hear from my clients when they have had to be cared for at the hospital.”
Drahos is a seasoned attorney specializing in maritime medical malpractice defense, with more than 15 years of experience representing shipboard medical professionals worldwide. He is a recognized expert in jurisdictional defenses and frequently lectures at cruise industry seminars. Drahos also brings a broad legal background in product liability and medical device litigation, serving as regional counsel to a global sports equipment and apparel company.
“Every great community must have a great hospital,” Drahos said. “WRMC has always been a special place to me. It’s where both my daughters were born! I’m looking forward to contributing in whatever ways I can to help ensure that the hospital continues to provide the highest standard of care and greatest overall experience to our patients and guests.”
In addition to his legal career, Drahos is a dedicated public servant. He served for eight years on the Wellington Village Council. His civic involvement also includes six years on Wellington’s Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board and two years on the Education Committee. He is also the founder of the Young Professionals of Wellington, a group focused on community advocacy and economic development.
“I’ve spent the past 20 years of my life in public service to Wellington,” he said. “Over that same period of time, my professional career has focused on representing doctors and nurses in the legal field. The opportunity to join the WRMC Board of Governors blends both my community and professional interests into one singular purpose.”
Other members of the WRMC Board of Governors include: Dr. Vincent Apicella, Dr. Edward Becker, Vaneli Bojkova, Ryan Chandler, Kevin DiLallo, Dr. Michael Galin, Frank Gonzalez (chair), Dr. Lori Lane, Dr. Mark Meyer (chief of staff), Barbara Miedema, Dorritt Miller and Pam Tahan (secretary and chief executive officer).
