Michael Carroll for Hospital Board

By Michael Carroll

Candidate Statement

My experience includes organizational development, leadership and management, marketing, financial planning , operations, and personnel-the nuts and bolts of real working organizations.

To me, a successful organization is not just about making money. It is about providing products or services to its customers in a fair and ethical way, providing jobs and careers to its employees, and leading and managing in a way that people are motivated and enjoy their work.

In the past 19 years, I have worked with and helped over 50 Mendocino County businesses, professional practices and individuals. Some of the long-term coastal clients include Pacific Physical Therapy, Gallery Bookshop, the Good Life Café, and recently Trillium Restaurant. Please feel free to ask the owners of any of these companies about how I work with them to achieve their goals.

I have no preconceived notions about what the Healthcare District needs to do. I am approaching this challenge as I do all the organizations I work with, that is by first listening and asking questions. What I have is experience in guiding organizations to success.

All of the other candidates for the Healthcare District Board are smart people who have more hospital experience than I do. Like them, I am motivated to serve the best interests of the hospital and the community. What I bring is a record of success by being the catalyst to create well run organizations. If you want my help with the hospital board, please vote for me on November 4.
