https://killexams.com/exam_list/HealthcareSearch is underway for the next CEO of Maui Health
Maui Memorial Medical Center is seen in February. Search committee members hope to find new CEO to lead Maui Health, which operates Maui Memorial, Kula Hospital and Lanai Cmmunity Hospital, by beginning of next year. — The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER
Maui Health has hired a top executive search firm to help find its new CEO, whom hospital officials hope could be in place by the beginning of next year.
While it is a “high priority” to find a leader from Hawaii or with Hawaii ties, the chairwoman of Maui Health’s search committee said “our main focus is on finding someone who meets or exceeds the qualifications and key attributes we feel are necessary for a highly successful Maui Health CEO.”Â
“This includes someone committed to being an authentic member of the Maui County community, to truly listening and learning, and who would dedicate themselves to addressing the health needs of our islands and people,” Chairwoman Tamar Goodfellow said in an email.
She is a board member at Maui Health and also the president of Maui Health Foundation, an independent, tax-exempt organization that is separate from Maui Health System, according to its website.Â
Maui Health, which operates Maui Memorial Medical Center, Kula Hospital and Lanai Community Hospital, is seeking a new CEO since the retirement of Michael Rembis this spring.Â

In the meantime, Kerry Watson, a health care executive from North Carolina, has been serving as interim CEO of Maui Health, a Kaiser Permanente affiliate, since Rembis’ departure.Â
His retirement announcement came shortly after rumblings about Rembis being ousted as CEO, but a spokesperson at the time said Rembis’ retirement was unrelated to those claims.
Rembis joined Maui Health in 2017, shortly after the three hospitals transitioned from the state’s public hospital system to the newly created Maui Health System. He dealt with the fallout from the transition and was also at the helm as the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Outbreaks among patients and staff at the hospital spawned criticism from workers and the community who were frustrated over the hospitals’ policies and how they were enforced. Some community members also called for Rembis’ ouster.
While Rembis’ tenure was seen as rocky by some, Maui Health officials credited him at the end of his career for expanding health services, programs and access and having “improved quality metrics that met or exceeded national standards” at Maui Health.
Criticism of Maui Health administration and leadership has continued on, however, and is part of why the search for a new CEO is being watched closely by community members, medical workers and state legislators, as millions of dollars of state funds still get appropriated to Maui Memorial Medical Center. Some Maui state lawmakers have expressed their preference for a new leader also with island ties.Â
Liz Linares, chairwoman of the United Nurses and Health Care Employees of Hawaii, said a concern with finding a new CEO is having someone familiar with the culture here on Maui.Â
On Thursday, she said she felt she was able to translate that to Watson and to Greg Adams, the chairman and chief executive officer of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. and Hospitals. A Maui Health spokesperson said on Friday that Adams was at the hospital for a routine visit and it was unrelated to the CEO search.Â
“I think they understood that,” Linares said of the request for a new leader sensitive to the island’s differences. She is a case manager at Maui Health.
Linares’ union represents about 850 members at Maui Health, including registered nurses, case managers, radiologists, pharmacists, therapists, admitting staff and receptionists.Â
“I think they are seeing the culture here is different and I think that we made it clear today we are worth it and we are valuable and we are worth spending time and money on,” Linares said on Thursday afternoon.Â
While Linares and Charmaine Morales, president of the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals based out of California, said the main purpose of Thursday was to meet with the leaders as they made their rounds in the hospital, Morales said she will be inquiring more about the CEO search and will seek to make sure the union has input.Â
“Ideally if you can get someone from Hawaii, from the islands, that would be ideal. Is it realistic? Probably not. But as long as you get that right fit, it will make the world of difference for this small tight community,” Morales said.Â
In a letter this week to Maui County Council members, a group describing themselves as “Citizens for Maui Health,” asked council members to adopt a resolution demanding that the CEO search process be transparent and that the new CEO be “for the people of Maui” and not “a puppet for Kaiser Permanente.”Â
The group said it was made up of health care providers at Maui Memorial.
The letter also asked that council members demand Maui Health board members “be aligned to represent Maui.”Â
A resolution at the council does not have the force or effect of law, but can express the sentiment of the council. Earlier this year, the council passed a resolution supporting striking United Public Workers union hospital employees and urging Maui Health to resolve contract negotiations.
In April, the union ended a nearly two-month strike after members ratified a new three-year contract with Maui Health. Some of employees’ concerns included new hires making more money than those already working at the hospital, as well as short-staffing and wages.Â
The UPW, which represents nearly 500 workers at Maui Health’s three hospitals, said this week it did not have an official position on the CEO search.
The search process began in February with the formation of a six-person search committee from Maui Health’s Board of Directors.Â
Goodfellow said the committee includes “four island board members” and two Kaiser Permanente members. Maui Health declined to identify them.Â
Maui Health’s Board of Directors includes Goodfellow, Mary Hew, Kathy Lancaster, Kim Horn, Dr. Steve Miller, Dr. Bryan Smith, Clay Sutherland, Tony Takitani and John Yamamoto, according to Maui Health’s website.Â
Goodfellow said that in the national search, they have partnered with WittKieffer, a firm that has offices globally and has consultants in many U.S. states. The firm was chosen in part due to its experience working in Hawaii, she said.Â
Maui Health declined to say how much they are paying the search firm.Â
The search firm has spent the last few months interviewing board members, senior leadership, physician leadership and “other key stakeholders at Maui Health and in the community to develop clear goals, objectives, and priorities for recruiting the ideal candidate.”Â
“They have developed a position profile that includes a comprehensive list of qualifications, knowledge and work experience, expectations, and key attributes required for a successful Maui Health CEO,” Goodfellow said.Â
The search firm continues to accept nominations, expressions of interest and resumes.Â
After candidates are screened, those qualified will be presented to the search committee for review. Top candidates will be identified and interviewed in the following few months, she added.Â
“As a standard practice in executive searches, candidate information will remain protected to ensure and respect the confidentiality of the candidate’s interest and other information,” Goodfellow said.Â
Maui Health also did not answer a question on who will ultimately decide on the new CEO. They also declined to answer a question about whether union leadership and/or representatives of various positions at the hospital would be privy to the names of finalists for the position.Â
While the aim is to have a new leader in place by early next year, Goodfellow said “finding the right candidate is most important and we will work diligently until that is accomplished.”

Cornel West is among the eminent thinkers and voices of our time. Speaking truth to power while synthesizing a politics driven by love and solidarity and care for those you share society with are hallmarks of West’s legacy. And that’s why it is puzzling that he has announced his campaign for president under the banner of the not so aptly named People’s Party.
“In these bleak times, I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes the form of running for president of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” Westannouncedin a video on Monday. “I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice. And the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice, what I’ve been trying to do all of my life.”
“I come from a tradition where I care about you. I care about the quality of your life, I care about whether you have access to a job with a living wage, decent housing, women having control over their bodies, health care for all, the escalating of the destruction of the planet, the destruction of American democracy. Democracy creates disruption. It creates an eruption. It creates an interruption wide from below, the energies of everyday people is manifest,” West said in trademark fashion.
West, born in Oklahoma before the civil rights era, has been an outspoken voice who has bridged the schools of socialist tradition to Christianity and spiritualism more broadly. He carries a history of fierce advocacy for racial and economic equality, and a strong rejection of blaming material or social misery on the marginalized, as opposed to the elites and structural forces actually responsible.
And he is now running on a party ticket that purports to embrace similar ideals but has had trouble on the execution side of things. While the party began in 2017 with noble roots to form a new political party independent from corporate money and influence, it has been mired in troubling allegations, as well as broader organizational dysfunction.
Numerous sources have corroborated sexual harassment allegations against party founder Nick Brana. Last year, former party member Paula Jean Swearengintoldjournalists Eoin Higgins and Jordan Chariton that she had witnessed Brana try to force himself onto former party executive director Zana Day, who confirmed the allegations herself. Numerous party board members were apparentlyforced outfor encouraging investigations into the allegations and questioning whether Brana was still fit to lead the party.
“We were removed [from the board] because we were concerned about Nick remaining in his position,” one former board member, Regina Clarke, said. “As the investigation went on, it was clear there was sexual harassment going on; for other alleged acts, there was debate on whether it was harassment or extended further.”
After the allegations were made public, the party’s social media accounts attacked and smeared those questioning the party leadership’s actions.
Other former party volunteers and members haveaccusedthe party leadership of lacking democratic organizational processes, having opaque finances, and being generally disrespectful, manifesting sometimes in ableism and racism.
As of now, the People’s Party has ballot access in barely a handful of states. The party’s central website has little direction for those interested in joining the party’s effort to gain ballot access elsewhere, nor to organize and elect candidates on a local level. The policy platform includes six admirable goals, but with little more than a few sentences related to each plank.
West’s decision to run with the party calls into question his instincts, and perhaps even his intentions. It’s not as if he had to run with this party. The Green Party was an option, at least in terms of ballot access. He also could have run as a Democrat, to provide Democratic voters another real option to choose or to put more pressure on Biden to engage with West’s arguments. So too could he have used the party as a vessel to expose even more traditional Democratic voters to his legacy and vision for better politics.
Instead, West is lending credence to an organization that has not earned it, while hamstringing his own electoral potential. In carrying his presidential candidacy through the auspices of the People’s Party, West will have to mobilize a movement and build a political apparatus in the arms of a party that has seldom exhibited a sustained ability to do either.

Atlantic Health System (AHS), based in Morristown, New Jersey, is poised to expand and diversify its pipeline of nurses by about 2,000 nursing jobs thanks to a $2.75 million Nursing Expansion Grant it is receiving from the U.S. Department of Labor.
The money will help establish Atlantic Health System’s Pathway to Ensuring Access and Clinical Excellence in Nursing (AHS PEACE), which will create professional pathways for RNs in acute care and critical care specialties, as well as clinical pathways for nursing assistants. Candidates from historically marginalized and underrepresented populations will be included in these positions, according to AHS.
AHS PEACE will support the creation of about 2,000 nursing jobs through the recruitment of graduating high school students, college-level undergraduates, and entry-level incumbent healthcare workers. The program will create partnerships with area colleges and universities, workforce development agencies, and non-profits.Â
The grant is one of 25 totaling more than $78 million that the labor department recently awarded to nursing programs in 17 states to address critical staffing challenges and to strengthen and diversify the workforce.
“Nurses make up the single, largest group of professional team members at Atlantic Health System and are essential members of the care continuum across all of healthcare,” said Trish O’Keefe PhD, RN, senior vice president, chief nurse executive, Atlantic Health System and president of Morristown Medical Center.
“Nurses have always served on the front lines of care, as a patient’s most direct connection to needed healthcare services,” O’Keefe said. “This program … will help Atlantic Health bolster those front lines while welcoming hundreds of new healthcare workers to the most rewarding career imaginable.”
AHS, a not-for-profit system, offers more than 400 sites of care in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the New York metropolitan area, including its seven hospitals.

When you think of investing in artificial intelligence (AI), technology stocks might come to mind. And plenty of opportunities for AI investing exist there. But there's another area that's also set to stand out in this exciting field. I'm talking about healthcare.
CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC.
The AI in healthcare market is expected to top $100 billion by the end of the decade, and some companies are already leveraging this technology to advance their work. Two great examples are Moderna(NASDAQ: MRNA) and Doximity(NYSE: DOCS).
If you buy shares today, you may benefit from their game-changing advances down the road. But if you could only buy one right now, which should you go for?Â
The case for Moderna
Moderna isn't a novice when it comes to AI. The company already was using AI as it developed its blockbuster coronavirus vaccine. For example, Moderna used AI to generate better messenger RNA sequences -- a basic element needed to develop potential mRNA vaccines or treatments.
Specifically, Moderna will use IBM's MoLFormer to predict the properties of molecules. This will help scientists better understand the potential of certain molecules to prevent or treat disease -- and speed up the development process. Moderna aims to use MoLFormer to help it perfect the lipid nanoparticles that help deliver its mRNA candidates.
Meanwhile, Moderna also is expanding its offices and hiring -- and a lot of this should support its AI ambitions. The new Seattle office will "scale the implementation" of AI, the company said earlier this year.
Drug development generally takes years, and screening molecules can be laborious and costly. If IBM's technology eliminates those problems, this deal -- and AI, in general -- might be a game changer for Moderna.
The case for Doximity
Doximity doesn't discover drugs, but AI could help the company -- and in turn, doctors and patients -- in another way. First, a bit about the company.
Doximity is an online professional network for doctors. It allows them to easily connect with peers, transfer patient files, immediately access research relevant to their specialties, and conduct telemedicine visits. It's basically an online extension of their medical practices.
Doctors don't pay for access to Doximity, but hospital systems and pharmaceutical companies -- those who aim to advertise their products to doctors -- do. It's a worthwhile investment for them since more than 80% of U.S. doctors use the system.
How is Doximity using AI? You've probably heard of the ChatGPT chatbot that's gained a lot of attention in recent times. Well, Doximity is testing its own version, known as DocsGPT.
It's designed to reduce the paperwork that often takes up hours of doctors' days. For example, a doctor can use DocsGPT to write to an insurer for approval to switch a patient's medicine.
Doximity is in the process of getting feedback from doctors to see how DocsGPT can best be used in the medical community. For now, though, it's clear the chatbot can help doctors save valuable time. That may keep them interested in using Doximity -- and that should keep Doximity's advertisers coming back, too.
Moderna or Doximity?
Both companies make good buys today. Doximity has delivered strong earnings growth, and top pharmaceutical customers are spending more and more on the platform. Moderna's generated billions of dollars from its coronavirus vaccine and is on the way to building a blockbuster respiratory vaccine portfolio.
But if I had to choose one company to buy for its involvement in AI, I would go for Moderna. The company is aggressively investing in the area -- and AI could eliminate the biggest challenges drugmakers face today. If AI fulfills its promises, major rewards could lie ahead for Moderna and its investors.
