Is your health center prepared for an unexpected CEO departure?
Only 64% of respondents to the Health Center Board Practices and Needs Assessment were satisfied with the board’s performance around CEO succession planning.
Planning for CEO succession can feel daunting—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether your CEO is newly appointed or has served for years, having a CEO Succession Policy and a CEO Backup Plan is essential for organizational stability and long-term success.
