Happy Retirement!

John Pratt has retired from the Assistant Program Director for Health Administration at Saint Joseph's College. Aside from having literally written the text most frequently used in long-term care programs, he has been a mainstay in the long-term care industry nation-wide. He is finally taking the very well-deserved step of retirement, although he has assured me he will continue as adjunct faculty for us!

One of the hot topics in health care administration is succession planning. I have never known anyone as committed to succession planning as is John. And he doesn’t just talk the talk – he walks the walk! It is very rare for a person to step down from a director position to an assistant director position in the same organization without there being some sort of friction. I can honestly say that when John did that six years ago I have not had one moment of discomfort in the transfer of responsibility. John gets all the credit for that. 
John’s professionalism and long-standing dedication to the success of our programs is exemplary. It has been a great honor for me to work with him and I look forward to his ongoing relationship with the program as an adjunct faculty member. Thank you, JP!
