NUHEALTH’S GIANELLI, TO TEACH A DOWLING COLLEGE GRADUATE CLASS IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT
EAST MEADOW, NY…Arthur A. Gianelli, President/CEO of the NuHealth System, has been invited to return as an adjunct faculty member at Dowling College, where he will be teaching a graduate class in healthcare management, as part of Dowling College’s executive MBA program, for the spring semester from March 17th to May 12th, 2012.
Gianelli expects to cover various topics in his class including concentrating on a number of topics relating to healthcare and hospital management. His graduate course will explore the myriad human, economic, political, regulatory, technological and strategic challenges facing hospitals at a time of national health care reform, with an increasing focus on reducing excess inpatient capacity, the need to increase primary care, improve outcomes, sustain cost controls and achieve efficiencies. He will also review social insurance in the U.S., and recent healthcare reform efforts by President Obama and its implications.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to return to Dowling for a second year of teaching and look forward to continue to work with the faculty in providing graduate students with insights and knowledge regarding all areas of healthcare management, resulting from experience obtained during the last five years as the leader of a major multi-facility health system in Nassau County and in prior years, in a senior executive capacity overseeing significant budgets from municipalities in North Hempstead and Nassau County,” said Gianelli. “I am gratified by the confidence placed in me by the Dowling College administration and look forward to this spring of teaching.”
