Our Future
Mark Wietecha, President and CEO, CHCA and NACHRI/N.A.C.H.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you to advance the success of your institutions through our new organization. It is truly a privilege for me. I look forward to meeting you and better understanding the needs of your institutions over the coming months. Together, we will make great progress in advancing our mission and your success, and most importantly, the health interests and future of children.
Our immediate priorities are to keep the current work initiatives moving and to accelerate the process of bringing our new organization together. It is critical we achieve the best possible impact on the direction of public policy as it relates to the financing of children’s health care, medical education and research. The political process is in full swing, and we are working thoughtfully to fully mobilize our strategy and influence to make a difference. There is much activity underway, and you can expect continued updates over the coming days and weeks.
To accelerate the integration of our new organization, I am working with Peggy Troy and the Interim Management Committee (IMC) to begin the leadership transition. My time commitment will steadily increase over the coming months as I conclude my current duties, and we will continue to rely on Peggy and the IMC’s continuity over this period. Our immediate priorities are to bring together the legacy plans of CHCA, NACHRI and N.A.C.H., to assess how we can be more effective in meeting your needs, and to begin aligning our operating organization and finances. It is our goal to move these processes along on a timely basis, and ensure you – our members – are providing your input on our direction and priorities. This is your organization. We will be working through Jim Mandell and the new Board to reach out to you and define how we expect these initiatives to unfold over the balance of 2011 and over the course of 2012.
Thank you again with warmest personal regards,
Mark
