BCMH Board Members Receive Governance Excellence Certificates

HOSPITAL BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE

GOVERNANCE EXCELLENCE CERTIFICATES

 

Linda Jennings and Rick King received certificates in Governance Excellence.

At the Missouri Hospital Association’s annual Leadership Forum on June 12, 2014, Bates County Memorial Hospital Board members Linda Jennings and Rick King received certificates in Governance Excellence. This acknowledged their completion of its voluntary educational program for hospital board trustees. Ms. Jennings and Mr. King were required to attend educational sessions and complete six of eight independent study modules.

“Hospitals are complex organizations,” said Herb B. Kuhn, MHA President and CEO. “To add value to decisions about hospital operations and support a hospital’s work in the community, a trustee must have a thorough understanding of a range of responsibilities in governance practices and the integration of the hospital’s mission and values. The Governance Excellence Certificate Program is designed to expand trustees’ knowledge base and provide enhanced decision-making skills.”
