    So sorry to hear of Faiths passing. Faith was a tremendous mentor to so many during her successful healthcare career. Faith mentored my when I was a member of her leadership team at Healthsouth Great Pittsburgh and when she thought I was ready, she was responsible for placing me in my first Hospital CEO role. I owe my entire 30 year career in Healthcare to Faith and the many lessons she taught me. Prayers of comfort to her entire family. Ken Howell
