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.
The
UCLA Anderson School is recognized as one of America’s
premier graduate business schools. Its preeminent position
is based on internationally acclaimed research, an innovative
and distinguished faculty and exceptionally bright, highly
motivated students chosen from one of the largest and finest
applicant pools in the nation.
Johnson & Johnson is the
world’s most comprehensive
and broadly based manufacturer of health care products, as
well as a provider of related services, for the consumer,
pharmaceutical and medical devices and diagnostics markets.
The more than 250 Johnson & Johnson operating companies
employ approximately 121,000 men and women in 57 countries
and sell products throughout the world. For more

Annual Community Appreciation BBQ
|

The 2006 Annual Community Appreciation BBQ was a huge success
this year in spite of the inclement weather that showed up.
Thankfully, most people had their fill of the delicious food
before the wind and rain started.
We want to thank all those who took time to join with us
in celebrating another year of the Health Center's commitment
to the community. We look forward to another great year and
hope the weather will be a little kinder at our next BBQ.
