NJHA’s Mary Ditri, director of professional practice, was awarded the American College of Healthcare Executives Northern New Jersey’s Business Partner award.

The Business Partner award recognizes an ACHE member who has shown leadership in a non-clinical healthcare setting and whose work has contributed to the community. Ditri, who recently earned a doctorate degree in healthcare administration, leads NJHA’s efforts in mental health and substance use disorder, along with other responsibilities including collaborative initiatives for maternal-child health and other public health issues.

“The honor I have is to accept this award on behalf of my colleagues throughout New Jersey who, each day, work to provide access to high-quality, safe patient care in each of the communities they serve,” said Ditri.
