Commissioner Ann Marie Henninger Earns Health Governance Certification

OMC Commissioner Ann Marie Henninger earned the Health Care Governance certification in 2020 after completing more than 50 hours of educational sessions on community health needs assessments, federal and state health care policies and more.

The educational curriculum, which was offered entirely online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, strenghtens Henninger’s understanding of hospital governance as well as her ability to enhance board effectiveness.

At a recent virtual board meeting, Henninger was recognized for her dedication to equipping herself with the best skills to meet the needs of our patients and the broader community.
