Rota Health Center gets new resident director
A long-time public school educator has joined the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. as resident director for the Rota Health Center.
Vanessa Q. Hocog is a former principal of the Sinapalo Elementary School. On Feb. 10 this year, she was hired for the Rota clinic’s top position, which had been vacated by resident director Sydie Taisacan.
Hocog worked for the Public School System for more than 10 years until she left the agency in early 2013.
Hocog confirmed her new appointment with Saipan Tribune yesterday.
Rota Health Center has 46 personnel including 19 medical staff; 12 administrative, housekeeping and maintenance personnel; seven business office employees; and nine assigned to various divisions.
When asked about her priorities as the health center’s chief, Hocog said they will continue to provide the best quality care for all RHC clients.
She assured that her leadership will continue to be effective and efficient in the delivery of healthcare services, will be transparent, and will have a positive and supportive work environment for all staff.
Hocog told Saipan Tribune that she shared these goals and objectives with the RHC staff during her first day of work.
“I am hopeful that with [this] opportunity, my leadership and management skills will create a new direction for the health center in order to improve health care services to benefit the Rota community,” she said.
