This hospital is the only hospital in the valley and serves a population of over 120,000 people. It is the foundation of a compre- hensive master plan which has been accepted by the valley's physicians and the community. This master plan, and Valley's services, include a broad array of ambulatory, inpatient, and mental health services that far exceed the expectations of the average hospital of this size. The primary function of my position at this hospital is to be responsible for the planning and coordination of this institution as a whole, with a major responsibility for Iiaison between the hospitals, medical staffs, and other institutions and organizations outside of the valley. I also have the authority to execute and carry out the following duties and responsibilities: I.

Finances: To maintain a sound financial structure, recommend fee schedules, and provide for careful economic administration of funds apportioned in the fiscal budget of S14,787,000 (1980). To assure the accurate records of the hospital finances, and to prepare periodic reports to the Board which will cover all aspects of progress in the various fields. I have also implemented the necessary computer, financial, and data programs to optimize the relationship between the hospital and Health Services Agency, P.S.R.O., Quality Assurance and the Third Party Payors. 6. Advisory Capacities: In the capacity of Advisor, I also inform the Board of Directors of the current significant trends, including: a). the economic, legislative, and social factors which directly influence the hospital field in general and Valley Memorial in particular, b). . remaining knowledgeable of the activities of local, state, and national organizations which are related to the hospital's service programs, c). remaining aware of conditions within the hospital which require action by the Board of Directors, d). recommending the updating of equipment and facilities needs which will be consistent with community needs and goals. 7.

Administrator of Hillside & Heartland Community Hospitals HILLSIDE HOSPITAL — 1940 El Cajon Boulevard -San Diego, California 92104 HEARTLAND COMMUNITY HOSPITAL—203 South Cuyamaca Street - El Cajon, CA 92020 From.1962 to September 1970. In the position of Administrator, I had the full responsibility for these two short term acute care hospitals located 17 miles apart in the bordering communities of San Diego and El Cajon. During my employment I planned, developed, built and implemented facilities in the service area which were consistent with community requirements, and 1 assured the occupancy and images of these hospitals in an aggressively competitive hospital environment. I was also responsible for the development-and implementation of a plan to recruit and maintain a larger physician complement for both hospitals. During the period of my administration, both institutions maintained the highest quality of patient care and consistently contributed significantly to the medical responsibilities of their respective communities. I feel that this period provided me with the necessary experience at top-level management, and conclusively demonstrated my abilities to operate a multi-facility program. The success of my programs therefore led to my employment with Valley Memorial Hospital in Livermore, and provided a strong base for the extension of operating in a larger and more complex hospital environment.
