Welcome
Ken Raske
Best piece of business advice: Although GNYHA doesn’t directly work with patients, Raske said leaders should understand the critical role it plays in improving conditions for providers that do. “We have to do the damned best we can to make sure they have the best they can to take care of those people,” Raske said. “Regardless of the problems we see out there, I feel fortunate that I have been in a position that makes a difference.”
Approach to mentorship: “Teaching younger people is essential to the future of the organization,” Raske said, calling mentorship a constant process. He said that GNYHA’s organization doesn’t have a hierarchy, encouraging staff to talk to anyone about anything.
What’s next: Raske said the most pressing issue in the health care industry is ensuring New Yorkers have access to the best care. That includes advocating for higher payments for hospitals and increasing access to health insurance. “I would like to see everybody covered,” Raske said. “That would be my goal.”
