German term

Pflegevorstand

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Please could you assist with an appropriate translation for the word mentioned above.
Unfortunately this appears in a simple table, giving the person's name, followed by Pflegevorstand in brackets.
Über Ihren Rat würde ich mich sehr freuen - wäre Nursing Chairperson hier zumindest teilweise richtig?

Nursing Supervisor or Director of Nursing

If you see this as a title, then this is how it would be expressed in a US hospital. More context would be helpful, however, if you thought that this was short for Member of the Board of Nurses
Note from asker:
Thanks for your answer! In terms of context, this appears in a table at the bottom of a page in the document and is unrelated to the contents of the rest of the document - sorry that I cannot be more helpful in that regard.
