Hamilton’s McKenzie graduates from Leadership GHA

Submitted by Hamilton Health Care System Dalton Daily Citizen

DALTON — Sandy McKenzie, vice president for Hamilton Medical Center, recently graduated from Leadership GHA, a prestigious health care leadership program of the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA). McKenzie was one of only 19 hospital employees from around the state to receive a diploma from Leadership GHA during the association’s annual convention recently. 

“This is a significant accomplishment for 19 people who are already making a difference in the Georgia hospital community today and are committed to continued professional growth and achievement,” said GHA president Joseph A. Parker. “Their investment of time in this rigorous leadership development course will pay major dividends as they continue to advance in their health care careers.”

Responding to the need to develop new leaders to take the reins of tomorrow’s hospitals and health care systems in Georgia, the GHA Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed the creation of Leadership GHA in the fall of 2003. The six-month program, which begins each fall, utilizes a variety of techniques to educate participants on the unique and diverse issues that characterize Georgia’s health care system. The program includes workshops, conferences, panel discussions and field trips to a variety of hospitals and health systems throughout the state.

“The contacts and information that I’ve received from being a part of this program will be very beneficial,” said McKenzie. “The program provides great leadership and management skills information.”
