PATERSON, NJ (April 17, 2013): Malwinder Singh, MD, FACHE, Pulmonology/Critical Care, St. Joseph's Healthcare System, Paterson and Wayne, New Jersey (resident of Franklin Lakes), has been accepted as a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), the nation's leading professional society of healthcare leaders.
“Because healthcare management ultimately affects the people in our communities, it is critically important to have a standard of excellence promoted by a professional organization,” says Thomas C. Dolan, PhD, FACHE, CAE, president and chief executive officer of ACHE. “By becoming an ACHE Fellow and simultaneously earning board certification from ACHE, healthcare leaders can show that they are committed to providing high-quality service to their patients and community.”
Fellow status represents achievement of the highest standard of professional development. In fact, only 9,100 healthcare executives hold this distinction. To obtain Fellow status, candidates must fulfill multiple requirements, including passing a comprehensive examination, meeting academic and experiential criteria, earning continuing education credits and demonstrating professional/community involvement. Fellows are also committed to ongoing professional development and undergo recertification every three years.
The New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA) presented St. Joseph's Healthcare System with a 2013 HRET Community Service Award for its AgeWISE program. The award was presented at NJHA's 94th Annual Meeting held earlier this year in Princeton. Each year, the NJHA and its Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey (HRET) recognize organizations that identify community needs and implement programs to serve those needs.
