To whom this may concern:

I am interested in the job opportunity you have posted for Hospice Executive Director – Gables Search Group.

I am presently the Chief Operating Officer of a Federally Qualified Health Center in McKees Rocks, PA. Prior to this, I was the CEO/COO of a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Pittsburgh, PA. In both roles, I led initiatives that enabled each entity to achieve profitability, following repeated years of net operating loss.

In September, I approached Board Leadership with a plan that would solidify the organization for its long-term future and enable some bright talent to emerge in my place. The plan would also enable me to move on to my next leadership opportunity within the next month or two.

I hold a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, a B.S. degree in Business Management, multiple Insurance Industry certifications, and more than 30 years of successful leadership experience in a variety of business disciplines including:

Large scale health care operations at the levels of hospital, community health, and nursing home care.

Financial analysis, corporate audit, financial recovery, forecasting and budget planning.

Medical insurance claims processing, billing, collections and call-center support.

Human resource management, staff recruiting, training and development.

Corporate real estate and large scale building, renovation, and construction projects.

Large-scale re-engineering and process improvement and project management.

Contract negotiations, public speaking and community service.

Business disaster management and recovery planning.

In addition to the experiences listed on my resume, I am an extremely dependable and flexible person who is well able to manage constant change. I work well both independently, and as a member of a team. I also have the unique gift of being able to easily and effectively collaborate with people of all types, irrespective of their age, level of education, and socio-economic status.

I maintain a professional appearance, a positive attitude, and disciplined organizational skills. Additionally, I am a person of integrity and excellent personal, as well as professional, references. I am hands-on, hardworking, dedicated, loyal and …no stranger to working long hours on difficult tasks, with seemingly unreasonable deadlines. I am open to travel as well as temporary and/or permanent relocation. I would also have no trouble obtaining NHA licensure in any other state if the position required it.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss whether or not I would be a good leadership fit for your organization.

Sincerely

Rebecca L. Brady, NHA
