| Charleroi Rotary Club President Donna Ramusivich welcomes Louis Goodman, Senior Vice President for Human Resources at Monongahela Valley Hospital. |
She was accompanied by District Administrator Bill Blaney and introduced by Assistant Governor Sandy Davis. Pam is the manager for the Uniontown Mall and has been a member of the Uniontown Rotary Club for 17 years. She is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, and has received numerous awards from both District 7330 and from her colleagues within the business community.
On October 19, 2016, the guest speaker was Louis Goodman, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Monongahela Valley Hospital. Mr. Goodman has previously served in similar positions with hospitals in Uniontown and Pittsburgh. He told the Rotarians that he wanted to share “some things people don’t know” about the hospital and its quality of health care. Mon Valley Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and is consistently rated #1 or #2 among regional hospitals for its quality of patient care, and has been recognized by the American Heart Association for its Stroke program. Over the past six years, major improvements to the health care system at the hospital and its off campus sites has been completed according to a Master Facilities Project.
Christopher Whitlatch, the recently appointed Executive Director of the Mon Valley Alliance, spoke to the Tri Club group on October 26, 2016. The agency is the result of a merger between Monongahela Industrial Development Authority and the Mon Valley Progress Council. Mr. Whitlatch noted that t he newly formed Alliance’s Board of Directors has decided to focus on long- and short-term local projects. The Mon Valley Alliance needs to establish partnerships to obtain funding and provide resources, and to provide advocacy programs, and he feels that the potential exists for a partnership with Rotary through the development of a mentoring program. Mr. Whitlatch noted that he has met with the Mon Valley Initiative. He and that organization’s director discussed the possibility of combining resources if possible.
