ROWLETT, TX (May 28, 2014) The inaugural class of the Texas Hospital Association’s Leadership Fellows Program was recently announced in Austin and includes a local health care luminary.

Josiah De La Garza, associate administrator of operations at Lake Pointe Health Network, was one of 24 hospital executives selected for a year-long program designed to promote the professional development of health care leaders and position them to drive health care innovation. THA’s Leadership Fellows program brings together health care leaders from around the state for a focused study in becoming effective health care advocates for Texas hospitals and the communities they serve.

“We are proud of the role we play in serving the health care needs of our community, and today we are proud to have Josiah representing Lake Pointe in THA’s Fellows program to ensure we are doing even more to influence the future of health care,” said Brett Lee, LPHN CEO.

The THA Leadership Fellows program is designed to grow leaders and equip them to lead community health policy discussions, guide integrations of the latest trends in health care strategy and create an environment that enables the best possible patient care outcomes. Curriculum includes presentations from a diverse group of health care experts with varying perspectives as well as open, active dialogue and debate.

“We are in an age of health care transformation, and as hospital leaders we have to do everything we can to position ourselves at the forefront of health care innovation,” said Ted Shaw, THA president/CEO. “The THA Fellows program is a chance for us to identify developing thought leaders in their respective health care communities and arm them with even more skills and expertise.”
