About Us

Leadership

Some of the best work we do at the Jewish Healthcare Foundation is supporting the people who do the best work. In health care, no matter what the setting, whether it's a hospital, a neighborhood clinic or a nursing home, the most important work is performed at the frontline, by people directly responsible for the care of patients.

In 2005, we inaugurated several programs to support champions of quality in health care -- professionals who strive to bring new levels of safety, efficiency and evidence-based practice to the point of care.

The format for our annual report this year is a tribute to these Heroes of the Healthcare System. Though they're from different institutions, have different levels of training and work in different specialties, they have one thing in common: they're passionate about spreading quality in their systems and settings, even when challenged by the forces of inertia and resistance.

Sincerely,

Stephen Halpern, Chairman
