Position President Division Healthcare Association of New York State Description The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) and its members are seeking a transformative, relationship-oriented, bold leader to serve as its next President and Chief Executive Officer (President). This is a unique opportunity to lead one of the most respected healthcare associations in the country. HANYS is widely recognized as a leading advocate for hospitals, patients, and the communities they serve across New York State and as a powerful and respected voice for state hospital interests in Washington, D.C. The President will focus on representing the membership and being attuned to every member's individual needs and advocacy priorities. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the President will work closely with the board, member organizations and HANYS staff to develop a strategic vision to achieve goals and objectives that are reflective of its members and support the current and future needs for accessible, quality healthcare for the residents of the state of New York. This is an exciting opportunity to join HANYS at one of the most important and dynamic times in its history as it seeks to address the chronic challenges related to an aging population, a chronic workforce shortage, disparities in care delivery, rising healthcare costs, and the acute pending challenges created by the passage of H.R.1. HANYS will require leadership that can adeptly navigate the breadth and depth of these unprecedented times while representing a diverse membership across New York State. In an industry that experiences constant change, the President must be a superb leader and understand where there are organizational, regional, and cultural differences to build upon common priorities and goals to gain and garner continued trust and alignment among the membership. Building authentic, strategic relationships across a broad spectrum of members - each with aligned but distinct missions - will be essential to unifying and advancing the collective voice and continued impact of the Association. The President must be passionate about, and energized by, the current challenges and complexities of healthcare reform, and work collaboratively with member organizations to cultivate trusting, effective relationships with elected officials and key stakeholders in New York and Washington, D.C. Forging collaborative relationships with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and other partner associations and organizations is essential. The successful candidate will be a strong leader with healthcare industry relevance and credibility. The President must be a highly visible, innovative, and deeply engaged leader, providing a clear, consistent, bold, and influential voice for all New York hospitals and health systems and the patients and communities they serve. This opportunity represents a career-defining, compelling call to leadership for a courageous, skilled leader who is motivated to advance the interests of HANYS members and advocate for accessible, quality healthcare for New Yorkers in the context of these unprecedented times.
