The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) has named Nicole Stallings as its next president and CEO. Stallings comes to HAP with nearly two decades of experience in hospital policy and advocacy, most recently as chief external affairs officer for the Maryland Hospital Association (MHA). She led efforts supporting hospitals in addressing workforce shortages, responding to COVID-19, enhancing behavioral health care, reducing readmissions, and improving care coordination. She also represented the hospital community during negotiations for Maryland’s all-payer hospital waiver contracts with the federal government and on public-private work groups focused on value-based payment models and statewide population health efforts.
“Nicole brings to HAP a strong record of leadership, advocacy, and coalition-building that will be needed to help Pennsylvania hospitals become even stronger champions for our communities’ health,” said Jim Brexler, FACHE, chair of the HAP Board of Directors and president and CEO of Doylestown Health. “In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals face historic workforce shortages, operational challenges, and threats to our financial stability. Nicole is already immersed in these challenges and Pennsylvania’s hospitals, patients, and communities will benefit from her leadership in addressing them.”
“I am humbled by the opportunity to serve Pennsylvania’s hospitals and health systems as HAP’s next president and CEO,” Stallings said. “I have spent my career advocating for policies that empower hospitals to deliver high-quality care to patients and their communities. I look forward to working with Pennsylvania’s hospitals and health systems to achieve the policies, support, and innovation needed to realize HAP’s and its members’ shared vision of a healthy Pennsylvania.”
