HCL Awards 2012: Hospital Administrator, Dr. Edgar Staren
Hospital Administrator
Dr. Edgar Staren
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
As a CEO, surgeon and cancer survivor, Staren is the “triple threat” that cancer fears and patients look to for assistance. As a seven-year cancer survivor and renowned surgical oncologist, Staren not only brings an expert eye to all of his employee and patient responsibilities, he brings a spirit of empathy, compassion and hope that touches everybody he interacts with at CTCA. Staren is often found in employee huddles around the hospital, providing expert insight to CTCA employees and listening to their needs, or discussing the necessity of new technology or a procedure to ensure CTCA physicians offer the highest level of care to patients. However, the role Staren values most – cancer survivor – provides rare insight into CTCA patients’ day-to-day needs. It’s not uncommon to find him discussing the day’s events with patients during his rounds, offering advice when asked or just a sympathetic ear when needed. Staren is more than a CEO. He leads with an expert and empathetic hand and lives CTCA’s mission, vision and values every day in every task to ensure CTCA provides the life-saving care that its patients cannot find anywhere else.</p> <p><a title="Cancer Treatment Centers of America" href="http://www.cancercenter.com/" target="_blank">cancercenter.com</a></p> <hr /> <h3>Finalist</h3> <h3><strong>Pam Nenaber</strong></h3>

leading one of the top performing hospitals in the Banner Health system, Nenaber served a critical leadership role during the planning, building and ultimate opening of the Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, which opened in September 2011. Her leadership also fostered the successful integration of a team of more than 300 highly-specialized employees who now serve the community and its cancer care needs. In addition, Nenaber regularly mentors hospital leaders. Her most recent mentorship success was with a department director who was promoted to associate administrator at a sister Banner Health hospital.
