Rehab hospitals share in athletes' victories.

More rehabilitation hospitals are becoming sponsors of sports programs and competitive events for people with disabilities, and the facilities are sharing in the athletes' victories in a variety of ways. This week, hospitals nationwide are celebrating National Rehabilitation Week, which is designed to promote rehabilitative medicine and the independence of people with disabilities.

Up and comers: Lt. Cmdr. Robert J. Burg, Maura Loughlin Carley, Pete Delgado, John P. Glaser, Glen Nessel, Kevin Potter, Laura J. Redoutey, Vicki Romero, Nancy Schlichting, Paul Viviano, Greg Wozniak, Lorraine Zippiroli.

Modern Healthcare's 1991 Up and Comers, the fifth annual group, are scattered all over the map, from Boston to the Bay Area, from Flint, Mich., to El Paso, Texas. They work in managed care, associations and specialty hospitals; one even administers the office that cares for members of Congress. At least two are "healthcare brats" whose fathers managed hospitals. One spent time working in a salmon cannery; another was a Peace Corps volunteer in Swaziland. Despite their differences, they share many common traits. They are bright, committed and know how to motivate and involve others. Maura Loughlin Carley, an area administrator for Kaiser Permanente Foundation Health Plans, put it best when she said her goal is to "hire the best people, develop them and keep them happy." They're also committed to seeking new ways to improve healthcare delivery. As Kevin Potter said, "What keeps me humble is that there's so much that I'm learning every day." Each of these emerging leaders is making a mark on the healthcare industry. They were chosen from a field of almost 50 candidates, all 40 or younger, compiled by the editorial staff of Modern Healthcare and readers.
