- Community Health Care Executive Completes Business Management
Program at UCLA
LOS
ANGELES (August 15, 2007) - Families and individuals who
receive medical services from Adams County Health Center,
Inc. will be the ultimate beneficiaries of specialized
management training completed by the organization's Executive
Director/CFO, Denise Langston-Groves, one of this year's
80 graduates of the Johnson & Johnson/UCLAA Health
Care Executive Program. The intensive two-week program,
conducted at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, is
designed to enhance the management and leadership skills
of Community-based health care organization executives.
Johnson & Johnson,
the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and
UCLA developed the program in 2002 in response to the need
for community-based health care organizations to be better
equipped to confront the mounting challenges in our nation's
health care and the rising cost or providing medical services.
Community-based health care organizations provide doctors,
basic health services and care facilities to millions of
people particularly the medically underserved and those
living in vulnerable communities. Since the program's inception
in 2002, more than 400 executives have graduated with enhanced
management and leadership skills. Eight participants, representing
organizations that serve over one million patients and
clients annually at 475 sites nationwide, graduate from
the two programs in 2007.
Participants
are selected through a competitive application process
and all expenses and materials are fully funded by the
program. Eligibility is limited to organizations that are
currently funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), an operating division of the U.S/ Department of
Health and Human Services that assures the availability
of quality health care to low-income, uninsured, isolated,
vulnerable and special needs populations and meets their
unique health care needs. HRSA-funded health care organizations
provide comprehensive primary and preventive medical care
to more than 9 million patients and clients each year at
more than 3000 sites nationwide.
"The
UCLA Anderson School of Management is delighted to partner
with Johnson & Johnson and the Health Resources Services
Administration to bring needed management training to community-based
health care organizations in order to ensure the viability
of our country's community health care providers," said
Victor Tabbush, faculty director at UCLA for the Health
Care Executive Program.
