Healthcare Executives' Founding President
Arthur L. Stern, the founding president of the Healthcare Executives’ Club of New York (HECNY), was a distinguished Hospital Administrator and Health Care Consultant whose visionary leadership helped shape the organization.
In 1958, alongside fellow hospital administrators Henry Karpe, Daniel Fruchter, Harold Schneider, and George Miller, Arthur transformed their informal monthly dinners into a formal, not-for-profit professional association. His goal was to create a collaborative forum where health and human services executives could exchange knowledge, share solutions, and address the challenges facing community care operations.
Arthur’s commitment to fostering leadership, collaboration, and ethical practice continues to inspire the HECNY community. Today, his legacy endures as the Healthcare Executives’ Club remains a dynamic organization, supporting professionals across various healthcare sectors while staying true to his vision of improving care delivery and advancing leadership in an ever-evolving industry.
