NCHS President and CEO, Irma Cota, Announces Retirement
After 20 rewarding years, Irma Cota will be retiring from NCHS but her legacy to serve will always remain.
San Marcos, CA, March 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Irma Cota announced today at NCHS’ 2017 Report to the Community that in the Spring of 2018 she will retire as President and CEO.
Cota has been the President and CEO of NCHS since 1997. Under her leadership, NCHS has been the recipient of countless awards and has expanded to fulfill the ongoing needs of its communities. She has supported the expansion of existing NCHS facilities as well as the build-out of new facilities all in response to the ongoing healthcare access issues. In 2016, the number of cumulative users accessing care at NCHS increased to nearly 65,000 patients resulting in 292,495 visits, an increase of 11% from 2015.
“As I reflect on the past twenty plus years I am beyond proud of all that NCHS has accomplished, and am more energized than ever as I begin my last year with NCHS,” stated Cota. “I am also reminded our work is not yet done.”
Her retirement has been well orchestrated, and for the last 18 months, the NCHS Board of Directors in collaboration with NCHS’ Corporate Executive Team has been preparing. Although it is bitter-sweet everyone supports Cota in her decision to retire in 2018 so that she can enjoy the next chapter of her life.
The NCHS Board of Directors will undergo a comprehensive process to help select Irma’s successor to ensure that the next President and CEO will continue to keep NCHS successful for years to come.
