“Without our diverse and talented team, we cannot deliver on our patient promise to ensure a positive experience rooted in quality care. And, our HR department is a core driver in strengthening our community of employees to support the future of our network,” said Inspira President and Chief Executive Officer Amy Mansue
in a prepared statement.
Ellis’s appointment follows that of Chief Human Resources Officer Anneliese McMenamin, with whom she will work to drive the health care organization – and its more than 6,200 employees and over 1,300 physicians and other care providers – to develop and institute initiatives that align with its mission and values, while nurturing internal growth and enhancing patient experience.
“I’m looking forward to joining a people-first team, and helping them achieve their newly defined goals during this transformational period, while ensuring that South Jersey continues to receive excellent patient care,” Ellis said in a prepared statement.
According to Inspira, Ellis is an active member of the Society for Human Resources Management, and holds a Senior Certified Professional Certification from the organization. She is also involved with the New Jersey Hospital Association, the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey HR Council and The Pennsylvania State University Mentorship Program.
