Tenet Healthcare was recently one of the platinum sponsors for the 2019 National
Association of Latino Healthcare Executives (NALHE) Leadership Summit in
Orlando.
This was NALHE’s third annual Latino Healthcare Leadership Summit. The theme

how healthcare organizations across the country are optimizing performance and
promoting health via the integration of health equity, diversity and inclusion into
everyday practice.
The following Tenet executives participated in the conference:
• Marie Quintana, Tenet’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and
Communications, discussed Tenet’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and com-
pany initiatives that address health equity challenges.
• Nicholas Tejeda, Tenet’s El Paso Market CEO and CEO of The Hospitals of
Providence, addressed the importance of Latinos in leadership, and ways to raise our
community’s voice to inspire change and foster equity.
• Sally Hurt-Deitch, Tenet’s Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President of Patient
Care Services, spoke about the importance of diversity between genders in the work-
force. Hurt-Deitch is the immediate past President of NALHE.
• Monica Vargas-Mahar, Tenet’s El Paso Market COO and CEO of The Hospitals of
Providence East Campus, discussed health equity’s impact on saving lives, money,
increasing productivity and improving the healthcare delivery system. Vargas-Mahar
is Chair-Elect for NALHE.
Quintana said, “Improving health equity is not only central to our mission as
healthcare providers, but fundamental to how we serve our communities and how
we live our lives. At Tenet Healthcare, we are, first and foremost, focused on the fam-
ilies and individuals in our communities, including how we can foster a nurturing
and healing environment to better serve their diverse healthcare needs. We applaud
NALHE for raising awareness of this very important topic and helping to create a
platform to reduce health inequities.”
