Report of the
Executive Vice President
As this is my first opportunity to report to
the community on the status of Sinai
Hospital, I can only begin in one way —
that is, I can say that I am very eager to
lead our Hospital into what promises to be
an exciting future in the health care
profession.
Planning for the future is a cooperative
venture. Not only do we have confidence in
the leadership of our Board of Trustees and
our Medical Staff but we have developed an
administrative staff which is energetic, well
trained, highly competent and truly
dedicated. Together we are prepared to
meet the challenges of the 80's.
An experienced staff, as ours is, is required
to maintain the enviable reputation that
Sinai Hospital has earned during its 26
years of excellent service to the community,
which has been based in great part on the
strong foundation of many past
achievements, several of which are noted in
this report.
Today, while Sinai Hospital's physical
growth slows, its growth in service expands.
Our plans for the future call for the
continuation and enhancement of existing
programs and services and for the creation
of new programs. Sinai is expanding its
capacity to meet the health care needs of
the community it serves — the geographic
community as well as the greater Jewish
community. While Sinai is a vital health care
resource for the northwest Detroit and
southern Oakland County areas, it
continues to provide essential services to
those community residents who have
moved to the suburbs. Many medical needs
as well are met in our "outreach" programs.
Quality care is the primary goal of this
Hospital. It represents the reason for our
existence, and it cannot be met without the
cooperation and commitment of our Board
of Trustees, the Medical Staff, the

employees, the Guild, the community and
the many Jewish agencies. I want to express
my thanks to all of them for their continuing
interest.
The entire administrative staff is well aware
that the true strength of Sinai Hospital lies
in the quality of its people and their
dedication to excellence. We will always
keep this in mind in taking steps to insure
Sinai's role as a leader in health care
delivery, education and research.
