California Hospital Association Award Announces 2010 Leadership Award Recipients
Hayward, CA, November 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The California Hospital Association (CHA) has named Sherman L. Balch, a long-time Hayward resident and an active community member, the recipient of the 2010 Leadership in Governance Award. The Leadership in Governance award is bestowed annually to a distinguished Board of Trustee member whose volunteer service, leadership and commitment to the community have made a significant impact.
“Sherman Balch is truly a remarkable man,” says St. Rose Hospital President and CEO Michael Mahoney. “He has laid a pipeline of next-generation projects and technological advances to enhance patient care and operational efficiency at the hospital. His work translates to improved access and quality health care to our community.”
Under Mr. Balch’s reign as chair of Hospital Board of Trustees, he led St. Rose through the arduous transition process from its corporate parent to an independent, community, not-for-profit hospital. This was one of the most pivotal organizational strategies in the hospital’s history. His leadership during such a critical juncture allowed the hospital to emerge with a successful financing strategy and continue as a viable health organization focused on the needs of its local community.
“The California Hospital Association is pleased to honor Sherman Balch for his years of outstanding service on the St. Rose Hospital Board of Trustees,” adds President of the California Hospital Association, C. Duane Dauner. “Mr. Balch's leadership has been instrumental in the success of St. Rose Hospital and we are indebted to him for his contributions to the health and welfare of the Hayward community.”
