This week I had the pleasure of interviewing six leaders of organizations supporting Pursuing Perfection: Marcy Hipskind (Family Care Network), Mark Donaldson (Group Health Cooperative), Roland Trenouth (North Cascade Cardiology), Melicent Whinston (Community Health Plans of Washington), Mary Bartolo (Sea Mar Clinic), and Mark Rattree (Regence Blue Shield). Cindy Manning is interviewing the other members of the Pursuing Perfection Leadership Board.
Their stories are inspiring and their depth of experience will support us. After their retreat October 14th. Cindy Manning and I will begin sharing the stories with you. It is going to be a mad dash to organize their stories and insights during this coming week. Their stories and their insights are the basis for the retreat. As this group becomes a strong and committed team, we can expect the support we need to be successful in our work toward our visions.
Once again I am reminded how much everyone wants to make the experience better for patients AND how capable we all are of doing just that along side of patients.
I cannot overstate how honored I feel to be working with all of you.
