Howard Kahn, CEO, L.A. Care Health Plan:
“Getting the new MLK Hospital up and running as quickly as possible is a high priority for all Angelenos. The seven men and women recommended by the County and UC for the new board will bring independent and cooperative thinking, a commitment to quality, and a high degree of personal responsibility to this very important endeavor. I am delighted that Dr. Elaine Batchlor, our Chief Medical Officer at L.A. Care, is one of the nominees. Having hired and worked with Elaine for many years, I know she has a strong commitment to high quality health care and to our community. The plans to date for the new MLK hospital are very promising, and I have every expectation that the residents of South L.A. will soon be served by a high quality, great institution.”
Elaine Batchlor, CMO, L.A. Care Health Plan:
“It is a great honor and privilege to be recommended for this new board, and to be included in the same company with six such strong individuals. The community needs and deserves a high quality hospital, and I believe I can contribute to helping that become a reality. I am excited about this opportunity, and look forward to working closely with fellow board members to make this hospital an institution that everyone can look to with pride.”
