Scottsdale Healthcare CMO among Top 100 U.S. physician leaders

Scottsdale Healthcare Chief Medical Officer Mike Foley, MD is one of the top 100 physician leaders in the United States, according to Becker’s Hospital Review, a national healthcare trade publication.

Becker's Hospital Review released 100 Physician Leaders of Hospitals and Health Systems, which features some of the top physician leaders in healthcare on May 31.

Dr. Foley became Chief Medical Officer at Scottsdale Healthcare in 2008 after having served as medical director of academic affairs and chief academic officer for one year. Prior to joining Scottsdale Healthcare, Dr. Foley worked in a perinatal practice and maintains a limited clinical practice in maternal-fetal medicine.

Dr. Foley has published numerous scientific articles and is a reviewer for several medical journals. He is a national and international lecturer, an award-winning teacher and author. He is considered a national authority on critical care medicine in obstetrics.

 “Successful hospitals require bright leadership and clinical excellence, and physician executives provide the valuable skill sets to meet both of these needs. The executives on this list have crossed the gap between clinical and management sectors, providing an important perspective on some of the greatest challenges facing healthcare today. Whether as CEO, president, CMO or another role, these physicians use their clinical experience to inform their decisions as they lead their hospitals and health systems to high quality, cost-effective care” said the editors of Becker's Hospital Review.

Physician leaders were selected for inclusion on the list based on their healthcare experience, awards they've received and their commitment to quality care. Many were nominated by their peers, and the list was vetted by industry experts.

The full-length edition of the list can be found here. Becker's Hospital Review is a bimonthly publication offering up-to-date business and legal news and analysis relating to hospitals and health systems. Content is geared toward high level hospital leaders and includes hospital and health system news, best practices and legal guidance specifically for these decision makers.

R&R Partners Wins National Award for Valley Metro campaign

R&R Partners, a Scottsdale public relations agency and member of the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce, is a recipient of one of the communications industries most coveted national awards – an Effie. The awards gala will be held in New York on May 23 and will honor R&R Partners for its innovative “Notes” campaign for client, Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority.

The Effie Awards, which recognizes the most effective advertising and marketing efforts in the United States each year, is highly sought after and symbolizes one of the most significant achievements in the industry – great ideas with measurable results. Previous winners in the transportation category include: Southwest Airlines and JetBlue. 

R&R Partners conceived the low-cost, multi-year campaign to help Maricopa County commuters and residents make the leap from their cars to buses. The campaign features music from five local Phoenix bands that wrote and recorded eight original songs about how to use public transportation.  Original animations were then designed around the music and lyrics and Valley Metro “Notes” was born –all eight videos are online at www.ValleyMetro.org/notes.

This winning campaign increased ridership, has won over 25 industry and creative awards and given the community what they were asking for- a better understanding of how to use public transportation.

See the videos here: Providing Public Transportation Alternatives for the Greater Phoenix Metro Area | Valley Metro |
