2007 was a busy year for LP&CO

As searches end and our client-organizations hire new executives, we'll post the good news here...once it becomes public knowledge of course.

We have been quite busy over the past year and have amassed quite a bit of good news to share with you. Here's our news from the searches we completed over the Summer of 2007:


National Institute for Healthcare Management (NIHCM)
Washington, DC

The NIHCM Foundation is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of America's health care system. The Foundation conducts research, policy analysis and educational activities on a range of health care issues. It fosters dialogue between the private health care industry and government to find workable solutions to health system problems.
NIHCM was seeking a Director for Research and Development. Julie Schoenman came to NIHCM from the National Organization of Research (NORC) at the University Of Chicago where she was a Senior Research Scientist in Health Policy and Evaluation. Concurrently Julie was also the Director, NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis in Bethesda, MD.


WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease
Washington, DC

WomenHeart is a national patient advocacy organization. Founded by 3 women heart patients in 1998, it provides support, information, and advocacy for the 8 million women in the U.S. living with heart disease. WomenHeart’s mission is to improve their quality of life and healthcare, and to advocate on their behalf.
After being launched and run by one of its founding members, WomenHeart sought a new CEO. Lisa Tate had previously spent 13 years as the Vice President, Public Affairs with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) in Alexandria, VA. Lisa’s strategic vision and leadership skills will greatly build upon the success that WomenHeart has already achieved.

A big round of congratulations to these executives and well-wishes for your's and the organization's future success! In future blogs, we'll include news from the fall and this winter.
