Ron Waetzman
Vice President
Email: ron.waetzman@mhc.org
Ron Waetzman, Vice President of the Michigan Health Council. Ron will have oversight for MHC finance, human resources and information services and will be responsible for the launch of the Alliance for Clinical Experience (ACE). ACE involves the implementation of two new systems: a clinical passport system (ACE PASS) and a clinical placement system (ACE PLACEMENT). Both of these systems will ease administrative burdens on educational and healthcare organizations with regard to students' clinical rotations, increasing utilization of existing rotations and hopefully increasing the number of available slots for students. As a result, more students will be able to complete these rotations, producing an increase in the healthcare workforce for Michigan. Ron has been actively involved in healthcare management for over thirty-four years. Over the years, he has held numerous positions in hospitals and managed care organizations ranging from chief human resources officer to chief operating officer, chief financial officer and regional vice president of strategic services.
