"During the summer of 2000, Jan Jennings was the Acting CEO of St. Tammany Parish Hospital. Simultaneously, he managed the search that led to my recruitment to the permanent position. Jan gained the confidence of both the Board of Directors and the Medical Staff. He was extremely helpful to me in negotiating my first CEO engagement and is still a friend of St. Tammany Parish Hospital. We know we can call him at any time for advice, counsel, or assistance. It is not often that you develop a lifelong friendship with your consultant!"
