Mountain View, CA - July 3, 2012 - El Camino Hospital today announced that twenty-one individuals have been appointed to serve on six Hospital Board committees. The new members were selected for their subject matter expertise and come from a wide range of business, academic and health care backgrounds. They will advise the Hospital Board of Directors in the areas of governance, finance/investments, quality, executive compensation and audit/corporate compliance.
"As the healthcare environment continues to evolve it is important to have individuals on the Hospital Board committee who bring a depth of knowledge and experience in areas that will help us continuously improve how we serve our patients and our community," said John Zoglin, chairman of the El Camino Hospital Board of Directors. "These new members are leaders in their respective fields and we look forward to applying their insight and knowledge as we move our hospital into the future."
The addition of the Hospital Board committee members - as well as the recent appointment of Neal H. Cohen, M.D., Jeffrey Davis, M.D., and Nandini Tandon, Ph.D. to the Hospital Board of Directors – is the culmination of a more than 18 month process to expand the subject matter expertise available to the Hospital Board, increase community involvement and apply best practices to its governance structure.
The new Hospital Board committee members - all of whom are volunteers – include:
Governance Committee
Quality, Patient Care and Patient Experience Committee
Executive Compensation Committee
Corporate Compliance/Privacy and Audit Committee
Finance Committee
Investment Committee
An El Camino Hospital Board Member will chair each committee. The new Hospital Board committee members will participate in a three-day onboarding session in August and be fully engaged beginning in September.
