Dr. Joseph (Joe) Fortuna will add to his duties at Delphi by serving a three-year term on the Board of Directors of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).

"The ACOEM also helps keep us informed of best practices in companies similar to Delphi and provides a forum for recognition of our own advances in health and safety."
