Abstract :

Annie is a creative and dynamic leader looking to serve both Kaiser Permanente members and the broader community. She thinks out-of-the-box. An example is the leadership she demonstrated to set 12 Guinness World Records in 2013. Each record was based on a Health Prevention message. An example of this is the importance of flu shots. Every year in the U.S., there are about 30,000 influenza-related deaths. These deaths are largely preventable. The previous world record for the largest number of flu shots at one site, in one day, had been 3,271. To raise awareness, and to increase the lifesaving vaccinations, Annie led the Kaiser Permanente of San Diego attempt to break the Guinness World Record at the Qualcomm Stadium. Under her leadership, the San Diego Medical Center completed 6,215 � nearly double the record! Her approach was creative, engaging, and highly effective. Come learn how she accomplished this under her leadership and more information on the role teams play in the extraordinary care delivery.
