Finally, Heather Daas reports: "I am still at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where we successfully opened the new Prentice Women's Hospital in October. I've moved to a new project, facilitating joint strategic planning between Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation and the hospital. The purpose of this plan is to align these distinct organizations in the pursuit of Northwestern being nationally recognized as a 'great' Academic Medical Center (AMC). This is my first strategy job after a number of healthcare finance and operations positions, and its been very rewarding to view our organization in comparison to other industries and AMCs. I'm also enjoying my interactions with the FSM faculty in various specialties and gaining a better understanding all the opportunities to make the healthcare experience one of ease, compassion and respect for our patients. One of my co-workers is completing his coursework in the Kellogg Part-Time MBA Program in March, so I've enjoyed hearing about his classes and catching up on the student experience through him. Charlie and I are enjoying watching our son Griffin grow. We're very fortunate he's enjoying being at NMH's daycare center (in the same building as my office) and also has started Wiggleworms at the Old Town School of Folk music. He's starting to take after his parents in many ways, including his expressing his opinions loudly and quieting down at church when the choir (of which I continue to be a member) starts to sing. I always enjoy catching up on the Class Notes and would be happy to hear from any Kellogg alum."
