CEO Update

Speaking to You: Phil McCorkle, Saint Mary’s President and CEO

Phil McCorkle


As you know, we only recently (June 30) closed out our fiscal year, and I am happy to say that we came through the economic storm in a very healthy financial position. Although there are many uncertainties in our future, including the effects of national health care reform, Saint Mary’s has positioned ourselves to adapt to whatever changes will be required by this new law.

As always, our roadmap will be our Strategic Plan, which we have just begun to develop for the next three years.

Below are the goals we have challenged ourselves to meet:

• Align Trinity Health Unified Enterprise Ministries, regional and local strategic plans and priorities
• Identify opportunities to invest in growth, technology, and innovation
• Position Saint Mary’s Health Care to act quickly in a dynamic and complex environment
• Identify mid- and long-range capital plans, including facility, ambulatory,
• and information technology needs
• Engage board members, board committees and physician leadership in
• development of strategic direction and priorities

The new Strategic Plan takes effect beginning Fiscal Year 2012, (July 2011) and goes through to Fiscal Year 2015 (July 2014).
