Allow me to brag a little bit. I work for an amazing hospice agency. We provide top notch care in a very diverse and populated county. I'm extremely fond of all my co-workers (no, really! I mean it!) and we really work together as a team to provide our patients with the highest quality of care. Part of that is due to excellent leadership and two of Hospice of the Valley's leaders were recently nationally recognized.
Sally Adelus, President and CEO of Hospice of the Valley in Santa Clara County, was named to the Board of Director's of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in January. Adelus will represent the West Geographic Area which includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming and will serve a three-year term: January 2011-December 2013.
"Sally's previous experience on NHPCO's Governance Committee and her leadership as Past Chair of the California Hospice Foundation and the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association will serve her well," said J. Donald Schumacher, PsyD, President and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. "Sally has a solid foundation and keen insight into the trends and changing dynamics facing our industry."
"I am truly honored to serve on the NHPCO Board of Directors and represent our geographic area membership," said Sally Adelus, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hospice of the Valley, San Jose CA. "I look forward to representing the voting members and bringing my expertise to the Board in support NHPCO's altruistic mission. Ultimately, it's all about patients and families and the preservation of quality palliative and hospice care," affirmed Adelus.
Dr. Neal Slatkin, Chief Medical Officer at Hospice of the Valley in Santa Clara County, was recognized by Castle Connelly as one of America's Top Doctors in Cancer, in recognition of his work in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in adults and children. For four consecutive years: 2007, 2008, 2009 and now 2010, Dr. Slatkin has been named Top Cancer Doctor for his work in cancer; additionally, he was named Top Doctor in Pain Medicine in 2007 and in 2010.
"I'm pleased to be recognized by my peers as one of America's Top Doctors in Cancer and Pain Medicine," said Neal Slatkin, MD, DABPM, Chief Medical Officer of Hospice of the Valley. "I'm equally honored to be among the nation's most outstanding physicians for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in adults and children."
Okay, so I might be a little biased but you have to admit: Congratulations are in order!
