It’s no surprise that in the current health care realm, there are more and more reasons for those within the industry to work diligently to stay on top of an ever-evolving health care world, so it’s especially gratifying that in this time of great focus, one of the most dynamic leaders in Michigan’s Great Southwest is the newly appointed Chair of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association.
In recent day, members of that key organization elected new offices and appointed board members during the association’s annual membership meeting in the state capitol. It was at that meeting that Dr. Loren Hamel, President & CEO of Lakeland Health was appointed Chairman for the association’s 2017-2018 program year beginning July 1st. The board that he now chairs directs the greater Lansing-based association’s statewide representation of hospitals and healthcare providers.
Dr. Hamel says, “As health care continues to evolve and change faster than ever before I am honored to serve in a role that will ensure our friends and neighbors, not only in southwest Michigan, but throughout the state have access to the high quality, affordable health care they deserve.”
Based in greater Lansing, the MHA advocates in Michigan and Washington, DC, on behalf of healthcare providers and the communities and patients they serve. The MHA is a nationally recognized leader on initiatives that protect and promote quality, cost-effective and accessible healthcare.
Greg Lane, Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, McLaren Health Care will serve as chair-elect alongside treasurer, John Fox, President, Beaumont Health, Southfield for the 2017-2018 program year.
