"My membership in HLNY and its predecessor, MHAA, helped me create a network of friends and colleagues that has evolved into one of the most meaningful accomplishments of my career. I derive great pleasure in helping these friends and colleagues whenever it is possible. In addition, having peers within my industry but outside of my own organization provides me with a critical resource that continues to assist me in managing my own career. Over the years the time came when I needed these relationships. At that point it would have been too late to try to create them. Having these relationships in place before I need them gives me an important comfort level."
— Sol Torres, LNHA, FACHE, Vice-President of Administration Winthrop Hospital
