According to the dictionary, the definition of administration is: the managing of a business, household, club, or office; management. This describes a small portion of the responsibilities that the staff in Administration hold.

Maintaining internal and external relationships among the hospital community, Board of Trustees, physicians and other providers is one of the hats that Larry Felix, Chief Executive Officer, wears. Other responsibilities include representing the hospital in community and hospital association activities, recruiting physicians and key management staff, developing strategic plans and providing leadership in achieving goals. He also has to make sure that the hospital complies with the many regulations that govern the healthcare industry and responds to inspection agencies as required. Monitoring quality, developing and enforcing policies, developing and monitoring the hospital budget and providing support to the Board of Trustees, physicians and staff are additional responsibilities for the Administrator.

The Executive Secretary and Medical Staff Credentialing Coordinator is primarily responsible for administrative support to the Hospital, Board of Trustees and Medical Staff, and for maintaining the hospital medical staff office and credentialing of the medical staff, which is a very detailed and time-consuming job.
