Chair and a Member of the Supervisory Board

Developments

SHA has recently transitioned to a new governance model featuring a Supervisory Board. The new board, which currently consists of three members, is composed of two members appointed upon the recommendation of the Amstelland General Practitioners Cooperative (HCA) and one member appointed upon the recommendation of the SHA Client Council. The positions of chairperson and a member with a business administration background are currently vacant. SHA is an organization in development. In the coming years, close partnerships with various stakeholders will be further deepened. Closer collaboration with many new parties will take place, also with a view to the planned emergency care center. This brings a great deal of dynamism and requires the necessary commitment from the Supervisory Board. The new Board of Trustees is poised to develop into a supervisory body that can support the Executive Board with advice and strategic insight. The goal is to provide future-proof, high-quality emergency care in a dynamic environment.
