Michael Maron of Holy Name Recognized for His Impact on Local and Global Health Care

May 28, 2015

Michael Maron, President and CEO of Holy Name Medical Center, has been honored with the 2015 New Jersey Distinguished Service Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) for his ongoing contribution in the field of health care both locally and globally. Mr. Maron was recognized for his work in a number of organizations and non-profits, including Holy Name, the New Jersey Hospital Association, and the CRUDEM Foundation in Haiti, which supports Hôpital Sacrè Coeur, the largest hospital in northern Haiti.

"Mr. Maron's impact locally at Holy Name and his involvement with the New Jersey Hospital Association, and globally through the CRUDEM Foundation in Haiti is inspiring," said Scott Serbin, the AMCH chapter's president. "We are proud to honor him."

This award is given annually to an individual who has made a significant impact on health care in New Jersey and in the field in general. Mr. Maron is committed to Holy Name's mission to help "our community achieve the highest attainable level of health through education, prevention and treatment."

Under his leadership, Holy Name once again received an "A" grade for patient safety from the Leapfrog Group in 2015 and was recently recognized for the 10th consecutive year as one of the Best Places to Work by NJ Biz. The Medical Center continues to provide leading-edge medical services in a culturally-sensitive environment, a combination that has drawn attention from other hospitals across the nation.

"I believe you lead by example and must show respect not just with words but with deeds and actions," said Mr. Maron. "Here at Holy Name we are influenced by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, our founding Order, and try to maintain a culture of selflessness at all times."

After joining Holy Name as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in 1987, Mr. Maron quickly rose through senior management positions until he took the helm as president and CEO in January 1997. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and sits on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Hospital Association. He is chairman of the Catholic HealthCare Partnership of New Jersey and chairman of the New Jersey Hospital Association's HealthPAC Board of Directors.

"This award is not only validation of Mike Maron's exceptional leadership but also Holy Name Medical Center as a premier healthcare provider," said Robert Britz, Chairman of Holy Name's Board of Trustees.
