PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Huntington Hospital announced today the election of three members
to its board of directors, effective January
1, 2017. Ron Havner has been elected as a new board
member and Michelle Chino and
Reed Gardiner have been elected as
returning board members.
"The challenges facing healthcare and nonprofit hospitals
require strong, dynamic leadership," said Stephen A. Ralph, Huntington Hospital's
president and CEO. "Ron, Michelle and Reed will each bring great
expertise to the Huntington Hospital board, as we continue to
provide the high quality, compassionate care to our community."
New to the Huntington Hospital board is Ron Havner, chairman and chief executive officer
of Public Storage (NYSE:PSA), the largest self-storage company in
the world. Ron joined Public Storage in 1986 and has held a
variety of senior management positions until his appointment as
chief executive officer in 2002. He is also a director of PS
Business Parks, Inc., AvalonBay Communities, Inc. and California
Resources Corporation. In addition, Ron is the former
chairman of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (NAREIT).
Ron and his wife LeeAnn have worked closely with Huntington
Hospital through the years, including supporting the expansion of
the Emergency and Trauma Center and participation in the Fall Food
and Wine Festival. Ron and LeeAnn have three grown children
and live in San Marino.
Returning to the Huntington Hospital board of directors is
Michelle Chino. Michelle has
worked as a marketing professional with companies such as
Pillsbury, Nestle USA, Overture
Services, Bluebeam Software and Yahoo!. She received her
Bachelor of Arts from UCLA, graduating
magna cum laude and her Master's of Business Administration (MBA)
from the Kellogg School at Northwestern
University, where she was named an Austin Scholar.
Michelle has also served on the board of the Assistance League
of Pasadena, in strategy and
communication roles. She is currently the chairperson of the
Very Important Performers (VIP) program that encourages middle
school students to make positive changes in their academic
experience. Michelle and her husband, Richard, have served in
various leadership roles at Saint Mark's School in Altadena and have two children.
Returning to the Huntington Hospital board for his third term is
Reed Gardiner. Reed joined
PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1971 and was admitted to partnership in
1982. In addition to his career domestically, he spent
several years as a resident in the London and Riyadh offices of the firm. Upon his
return to Los Angeles, he
continued to serve foreign governments and lead the firm's services
at a number of large multinational clients. He also led the firm's
National Aerospace and Defense practice and was a member of the
National AICPA committee that set United
States accounting standards in this area. Following
several highly-publicized audit failures and the demise of a major
accounting firm, expectations and demands on the accounting
profession increased very substantially. Reed participated
and directed significant aspects of the firm's response to this new
environment and became Region Risk Management Partner for the
Western Region of the firm. Reed retired from
PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2008.
Reed received a bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California in 1970, and an
MBA from the same institution in 1971. He was a faculty
member at the Leventhal School of Accounting at USC and was honored by the school as its
Outstanding Alumnus in 2005. He is a member of Annandale
Country Club, PGA West in La
Quinta and the Jonathan Club. Reed and his wife,
Nairi, have five adult children and live in Pasadena.
