Effective, high-performance Boards spend most of their time on important strategic and policy issues. They engage in rich discussion and dialogue, assess outcomes, and participate in ongoing education. They focus on the issues that are most critical to the organization, and where they can have the greatest impact.
The board is responsible for the financial success of the hospital and fulfills a fiduciary responsibility that is defined as: a duty of organizational loyalty; a duty of care through application of business judgment; and a duty of obedience in abiding by laws, regulations and standards of hospital operations.
Regular meetings are held by the Board where critical decisions on SJGHEL operations are made and our Board minutes reflect these discussions and the challenges and opportunities facing SJGHEL.
