iving out of boxes and

almost normal to
Elliot Joseph, the
new president of Huron
Valley Hospital in Com-
merce Township.
He took the helm of the
1530-bed full-service com-
munity hospital June 1
and promptly moved from
Chicago to temporary liv-
ing quarters in Novi. His
family joined him in their
West Bloomfield home
July 5 and the unpacking
is under way.
But it might be some-
time before the 39-year-
old Queens, N.Y., native
will be able to unpack at
work. His offices will be
moving shortly to make
way for an obstetric
department expansion
including a Complete Care
Nursery for babies who

need extra attention.
A rapidly growing
community is being
reflected at the hos-
pital. The ground-
breaking for a $2
million short-stay
unit is scheduled

for
this
Already
year, the hospi-
tal completed a
4,000-square-
foot emergency
department
renovation pro-
ject. The hos-
pital also
added diag-
nostic cardiac
catheteriza-
tion services in
April.
Mr. Joseph is not unac-
customed to such change
and growth. At Mercy
Hospital and Medical
Center in Chicago, he cre-,
ated a six-site occupation-
al medicine program with
a current annual gross
billing of $7.2 million.
Mr. Joseph said the
seven-year-old hospital is
different than most small-
er facilities. As a member
of the Detroit Medical
Center, the hospital has a
better quality of doctors
and services than other
hospitals near its size, he
said.
"We have that sort of
small-town, neighborhood
feel, and yet it's a very
sophisticated environment
from a clinical perspec-
tive," Mr. Joseph said.
He said he sees two sets
of parallel challenges he
will face as the hospital's
top administrator.
"This place is going to
grow and expand, but we
don't want to lose that
small-town, neighborhood,
look-you-in-the-eyeballs-
when-you-talk feeling," he
said. "The other challenge
is maintaining clinical
excellence and high quali-
ty; we don't want that to
get lost and have people
think of us as a small-
town hospital."
He's already.been on
midnight rounds to meet
some of the hospital's 700
employees. Mr. Joseph
said he hopes to meet peo-
ple in the community once
his family is settled.
"We have that
small-town feel,
yet it's a
sophisticated
environment
from a clinical
perspective."
He and his wife,
Carolyn, haven't yet had
the opportunity to choose
a synagogue. Mr. Joseph
said he is excited to live in.
an area with a large and
active Jewish community.
While he worked in
Chicago, his family lived
in Yorkville, Ill., 50 miles
outside of the city.
"Part of what's attrac-
tive in this area to me is
living in a Jewish commu-
nity . Outside of Chicago
there wasn't a large
Jewish population," he
said. "It will be nice to be
part of that again."
Both of the Josephs
enjoy playing golf, spend-
ing time with friends, lis-
tening to music and tray-
elina.
The couple have five child-
dren. The three older chil-
