The 2023-2024 Leadership Mountain View class visited El Camino Health on December 15 to learn about our community's health and human services. Jon Cowan, executive director of Government Relations and Community Partnerships, welcomed the group and shared an overview of El Camino Health and its services. Participants learned about El Camino Health's history, locations and types of healthcare services, legacy of technological innovation and high clinical quality — as well as its robust community involvement to improve health. Alicia Potolsky, El Camino Health’s associate chief nursing officer, educated participants about effectively leading nurses and clinical teams to deliver outstanding clinical care while maintaining employee engagement.
The rest of the session provided a comprehensive education about healthcare in Mountain View and Santa Clara County. Attendees heard from a wide range of organizations, agencies and companies that provide healthcare or health-related resources.
Each Leadership Mountain View class includes about 30 community members who are ready to move forward in their careers and service to the community. Members include representatives from the corporate and nonprofit sectors, healthcare and education, as well as business owners and those who are self-employed. Students also include city government employees, with top candidates chosen by the city manager. All participants either live or work in Mountain View.
El Camino Health is a longtime partner of Leadership Mountain View and each year puts together a panel of speakers to discuss health and human services.
Mountain View residents and workers who want to learn more about our community and hone their leadership skills can apply to participate in future Leadership Mountain View classes. A new class begins in September of each year.
