Faculty Input Shaping the Partnership with
Hartford Hospital
As we continue to await legislative action on the proposed
Partnership with Hartford Healthcare Corp., I would like to take
a moment to thank all Health Center staff who have actively
helped to shape this bold and detailed plan.
In particular, I am deeply grateful to the School of Medicine
and School of Dental Medicine faculty who have devoted
considerable time providing input, reviewing documents and at
all times, advocating for our unique academic mission. In doing
so, they were part of several Integration Committees and working
groups.
The Partnership Education Committee includes Drs. Bruce
Koeppen, Bruce Liang, Kiki Nissen and Robert Bona.
The Partnership Faculty/Physician Relationship committee
includes Drs. Richard Simon, Peter Albertsen, Jay Lieberman,
Douglas Fellows, Adam Silverman and David Shafer.
In addition, Dr. Peter Albertsen is involved with the
Partnership Finance Committee and Dr. Denis Lafreniere is
involved with the Partnership Human Resources Committee.
Many of the sub-documents have received input from elected
members of the UCHC Clinical Council and UCHC Research Council
(listed below). These documents are now in their final phase of
formulation.
Finally, as I hope you know, on July 8, Hartford Hospital CEO
Elliot Joseph and I met with your elected faculty members on all
of the councils, with the department chairs, Type II Center
directors and with assistant and associate deans to discuss the
Integration agreement. (For your reference, a list of invited
participants is included.) Department chairs are also prepared
to share pertinent information and answer questions. Your input
as faculty is important.
I am very grateful to all who have participated, and continue
to participate, in this process. In an effort to continue these
conversations and share information, I will be scheduling a
meeting with faculty leadership and plan a series of meetings
with departments over the next few weeks. President Mike Hogan
has agreed to join me at many of these meetings.
Your efforts, enthusiasm and thoughtful insights have been
invaluable. Please continue to share your feedback with me or
any of the faculty-leaders listed in this message.
