| The Medical
Board (Medical Executive Committee) consists
of the Chief of Staff, the Clinical Department Chiefs,
the President and Vice President of the Medical Staff
and three additional physicians who are members of
the Active Medical Staff.
This is a body of respected medical leaders who serve
Huntington Hospital on a voluntary basis. Together,
they carry out important oversight functions for the
Medical Staff. The M.E.C. reports to the Board of
Directors on such matters as the credentialing of
new physicians, the granting of clinical privileges
in the wide range of specialties represented at Huntington
Hospital, and new or expanded programs in such areas
as Oncology, Cardiology, Surgical services, Perinatology
and many others. Foremost among their responsibilities
is meticulous attention to quality of care in the
pursuit of clinical excellence for our patients and
the Huntington community that we serve. |
