Jack Rose, MBA, has been named executive director of the Loma Linda University Health Web Center.
For the past seven months, Mr. Rose has filled a significant leadership role on an interim basis to start the new Web Center, which is designed to centralize system-wide web functions—both internal and external—under one roof.
“The Web Center will allow us to consolidate web-based activities across the university and health care entities to present a consistent message that establishes LLUH as a world-class academic medical center,” says Mr. Rose.
Mr. Rose brings a wealth of experience to his new role, most recently serving as director of enterprise project management at LLU Medical Center. Before joining Loma Linda in August 2010, he held key leadership positions in IT, project management, and financial management in the banking, manufacturing, and public sector industries.
“Under Jack’s leadership,” says Tony Yang, MBA, assistant vice president for public affairs, LLUH, “Loma Linda University Health will continue to build a foundation that will enhance our presence on the world stage as a global leader in wellness and prevention, education, research, and clinical care through a coordinated web strategy.”
The LLUH Web Center also provides key intranet access and services for the organization’s more than 13,500 employees and more than 4,600 students. It is under the co-leadership of Mr. Yang, and Mark Zirkelbach, MPA, chief information officer, LLU Health System; with Mr. Yang and Mr. Zirkelbach reporting to the Web Center Steering Committee, co-chaired by Kevin Lang, MBA, executive vice president for finance and administration/CFO, LLUH, and Rachelle Bussell, CFRE, senior vice president for advancement, LLUH, with members representing LLU, LLUMC, and physician practice groups.
As LLUH begins a national branding campaign, the Web will play a critical role in providing up-to-date and targeted information, as well as a more efficient way for its many audiences to interact with LLUH.
Six other positions in the Web Center have already been filled. Jennifer Hickok, web intranet director; Kenneth Kim, MHA, search engine marketing manager; Libu Varghese, MS, web developer; Brian Weed, MA, social media coordinator; Krista Miller, web designer; and Ling Ling Chao, user interface designer, have transitioned to the Web Center. Mr. Rose will lead the search to fill the other remaining 10 positions.
The LLUH Web Center will be located in Mountain View Plaza, suite 129, and will reside in the space most recently occupied by the LLEAP transitional team. Mr. Rose may be reached by email, jrose@llu.edu, or at ext. 33217.
