FORT WAYNE, Ind. – June 17, 2025 – Parkview Health chief legal and compliance officer David Storey was recently recognized with the Distinguished Barrister award from Indiana Lawyer.
The Indiana Lawyer, an Indianapolis-based statewide legal news outlet, hosts the annual Leadership in Law program to recognize experienced and up-and-coming Hoosier attorneys. The Distinguished Barrister award honors lawyers with at least 20 years of practice who have not only made significant contributions in their careers but also help to lead younger generations into the law. This year, 17 Indiana attorneys were named Distinguished Barristers.
“As Parkview continues to navigate the increasingly complex regulations regarding healthcare and adapts to ongoing changes in the law – including those likely to be disruptive or damaging to hospitals and healthcare providers – Parkview is blessed to be led by an experienced, talented and dedicated attorney like David Storey,” said Rick Henvey, CEO, Parkview Health. “David’s dedication and expertise over the last 15 years have helped Parkview grow into the system that it is today.”
Storey joined Parkview in 2010 and has assisted Parkview through more than a decade of growth. Storey started his career at Parkview working on the development of Parkview Regional Medical Center (PRMC) and has since led multiple community hospital affiliation agreements, to the expansion of Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) and the providers who have been welcomed into the system.
Storey and his teams play a vital role in advancing Parkview’s quality and safety initiatives. As the leader of compliance and risk management, he ensures legal requirements are met while proactively identifying and mitigating risks to improve safety across the system.
“Parkview’s compliance teams are great partners with our quality and safety leaders,” said Dr. Jeffrey Boord, chief quality and safety officer, Parkview Health. “By working with David and his legal and compliance teams, Parkview is able to institute best practices that create safer workplaces for our patients as well as our co-workers.”
Storey leads a legal team of attorneys, multiple paralegals and support staff, and hosts summer internships for students interested in practicing law as a career.
Outside of Parkview, Storey keeps active in the community with past and present board positions for numerous organizations, including the Allen County Bar Association, Northeast Indiana Area Health Education Center; Family and Children’s Services, Fort Wayne Civic Theatre and Arts United.
He was twice nominated for the Foellinger Foundation’s Excellence in Nonprofit Leadership Award in recognition of his many contributions to Fort Wayne’s nonprofit institutions. He was also awarded the Outstanding Service Award by the Allen County Bar Association in 2022 for his contributions to the bar throughout COVID and was recognized a second time in 2024 for his extensive efforts to help the association address funding issues.
