A Glimpse at Leadership at NMC
As NMC has grown, we have resisted the temptation to become administratively bureaucratic. We have strategically sought to remain organizationally nimble -- led by a small group of professionals who are passionate about our mission and vision.

Our Chief Executive Officer is Peter Hofstetter. He is joined on the Leadership Team by Ted Sirotta, our Chief Financial Officer; Sandy Robinson, our Chief Nursing Officer and Director of Clinical Services; John Johnston, our Chief Technology Officer; Jonathan Billings, our Director of Planning and Community Services; Jane Catton, our Director of Process Improvement; and Mary Lou Beaulieu, our Director of Human Resources.

The Leadership Team meets weekly -- touching base on what's happening throughout the hospital, working collaboratively on issues of shared concern, and ensuring NMC remains on course in alignment with our strategic plan. Our Leadership strives to be interchangeable through trust, excellent communication and a shared approach to decision making -- so that between other Leadership Team members and our talented staff throughout the facility, progress can continue even when a key individual is away.

A discussion of leadership at NMC would be incomplete without a special spotlight on the NMC Board of Directors. This volunteer group of community leaders sets the direction for our organization through strategic planning and regular interaction with our Leadership Team and Medical Staff:

John Casavant, of St. Albans (President)
Judy Ashley-McLaughlin, of St. Albans (Vice President)
Harold "Butch" Hebert, of St. Albans (Treasurer)
Peter Rath, of St. Albans (Secretary)
Nick Hadden, of Fairfax (Past President)

John Edwards, of Swanton
John Hango, of Enosburg Falls
Michelle Lawrence, of South Hero
Greg Mruk, of Alburg
Albert Perry, of Richford
Frank Zsoldos, MD, of St. Albans
Steve Payne, MD, of St. Albans (President of Medical Staff)

Based on the direction established by the Board, the Leadership Team works with the Medical Staff, the hospital management staff (made up of 30 department managers and team leaders), and our front line nursing, clinical, administrative, and support staff to ensure that NMC provides access to optimal health care in our community -- and that we are actively working to be at the center of our community's efforts to be healthy.
