Physicians re-elect two
incumbents to Medical Board Nancy Adelman, a
Menlo Medical Clinic pediatrician, and Susan Sorensen, a hematologist who practices in
Palo Alto, have been reelected to at-large positions on the Stanford Hospital and Clinics
Medical Board. This is the second consecutive term for both Adelman and Sorensen, whose
new terms run through August 2000. Other candidates in the mail-in election were Donald
Goffinet, professor of radiation oncology; Christopher Hayward, associate professor of
psychiatry and behavioral sciences; and Leslie Zatz, emeritus professor of radiology. Some
321 of the eligible medical staff members participated in the postal balloting. |

fundamental and probably necessary changes in the health care delivery system in the next
few years, predicted Peter Van Etten, president and CEO of UCSF Stanford Health Care.
Speaking to a joint meeting of members of the Stanford Hospital and Clinics Deputy Chiefs'
Committee, the Medical Center Task Force and the Medical Board, Van Etten said health care
"now represents 14 percent of the GNP [gross national product]. We are one seventh of
the economy . . ." |
