Farewell, Stephen In the last edition of HCSA News it was reported that Stephen Campion, HCSA Chief Executive, had announced his intention to retire. Stephen joined the Association in April 2000 after a distinguished career in Hospital Management. Many members have benefitted from Stephen’s extensive knowledge, expertise and negotiating skills. He has always been willing to give advice, guidance and representation to those members who have turned to their Association for support. He has been a solid rock on which numerous HCSA Presidents, Councils, Committees, HCSA Members and staff have come to depend. Stephen will retire at the end of March 2012. Members wishing to contribute towards a gift to him are invited to send a cheque payable to “HCSA” which can be sent to the Overton Office at “Freepost HCSA”.
