Michael Maron, president and CEO of Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, has achieved some notoriety as one of the most outspoken critics of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ’s OMNIA health plan. But it is his leadership of a faith-based – that is, Catholic – hospital (that happens to be where he was born) that has made Maron stand out in New Jersey’s health care landscape. In this episode, Maron explains why he believes OMNIA is bad for the future of health care in New Jersey, why Holy Name’s faith based mission is good for the health care of its patients, and how a person can maintain principles of faith while keeping a sharp business edge in a competitive marketplace.
