A Message From The Chairman<br />
Few are as fortunate as I to be handed the keys to <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> by a gentleman’s<br />
gentleman, Dr. Farouk Sultani, at such an exciting time. As he departs his three-year chairmanship of the<br />
Board of Trustees and I begin mine, I am privileged to have the distinct honor to be asked to provide<br />
community leadership to this dynamic, high quality and critically-important institution.<br />
Before many much larger hospitals had even begun discussing patient and medication safety,<br />
<strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> was already implementing it in the pharmacy, at the bedside and throughout its<br />
electronic medical record and physician computerized medication ordering systems. New initiatives, like<br />
24 hour teleICU monitoring of critically ill patients and advanced robotic surgery, continue to characterize<br />
the exceptional advancements here.<br />
We can all be proud of the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s back-to-back national Distinguished Hospital Awards placing us among the<br />
top 5% of all American hospitals. 2010 Clinical Excellence Awards, 5-Star ratings across numerous services and “best on<br />
Delmarva” designations all speak to the commitment and passion of our dedicated medical staff, employees and volunteers.<br />
Much of that unprecedented success resulted from the visionary direction of Alan Newberry, who expected nothing but<br />
the best of this organization. Alan, who retired this month as President/CEO of the <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> Health System after 17<br />
years of executive leadership, now turns over the Health System – as he did a year ago with the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, to the<br />
exceptionally qualified Dr. Peggy Naleppa.<br />
Peggy has the full support and confidence of the board as she begins writing her own history as the President/CEO of the<br />
Health System and the <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>. Peggy is currently leading a new Strategic Plan that focuses on recruiting and retaining<br />
physicians and staff and expanding connectivity to health care services with an emphasis on patient-centered care. It’s an<br />
ambitious start for a gifted and ambitious leader with a view to the future.<br />
And yes, this board will face its own challenges. We need more physician specialists in our region, we must learn how to<br />
do more with less because of rate reductions, and we may not know for months what effect health care reform might have on<br />
our <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
What I can assure you, on behalf of the board, is that <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong> will continue to provide the most<br />
technically-advanced medical, clinical and surgical care possible. We’re honored to share the keys to your <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
