A Message From Your Chapter President
|
Dear ACHE of MA Members,
As I write, it appears that what seems like weeks of rain is ending and we are getting a glimpse of real spring. This backdrop seems fitting for our June newsletter, which itself is abloom with new initiatives, recognized achievements, and new leaders stepping forward to support our mission of promoting professional growth and development.
First, a thank you to all who attended our May 17 Spring Conference to hear Dr. Kevin Tabb and Kate Walsh speak about leading and creating value in healthcare systems through this period of significant change. The event was one of our best attended to date. A special congratulations to Kate and her team at Boston Medical Center on being the recipient of ACHE of MA's inaugural Diversity and Inclusion Award for their commitment to equality and humanity in health care. In addition, kudos to Jenna Pradhuman of Boston University School of Public Health for winning our David Kinzer Scholarship for her demonstration of leadership ability and active participation in both professional and community service events.
Lastly, a welcome to new leaders at ACHE of MA. Dr Ali Raja, FACHE of MGH will join us as a new board member this month, and in addition, Kathy Sucich, Director of Healthcare Marketing at Dimensional Insight, will take over from Monique Porter as Chair of our Communications Committee. Thank you to both Ali and Kathy for stepping up to these leadership roles and to Monique for her efforts in leading Communications.
Thanks again for your commitment to ACHE of MA and I hope you enjoy our June issue.
Regards,
John Fogarty, FACHE
