Tanya Dansky, of Children’s Physicians Medical Group, Joins ABL Organization

Santa Ana, CA - October 25, 2011 - Tanya Dansky, CEO of Children’s Physicians Medical Group, Inc., has joined the Adaptive Business Leaders Organization (ABL). As part of California’s leading vertical-industry Chief Executives’ Organization, ABL Members provide one another with executive leadership coaching through confidential, professionally-facilitated, peer-CEO Advisory Board Round Tables, executive learning workshops, network of CEO peers, and expert resources.

Children's Physicians Medical Group (CPMG) provides care for more than 71,000 children throughout San Diego and southern Riverside counties. Tanya brings years of real-life experience to CPMG that compassionately and effectively assist in bringing the right pediatric care to children in need. Founded in 2001, CPMG is affiliated with top-ranked Rady Children's Hospital San Diego and contracted with a variety of health plans, such as Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, Health Net, Pacificare, and Sharp Healthcare. Its mission is to support and enhance the physician-patient relationship through ensuring excellence in clinical care, quality, and service.

Prior to becoming CEO, Tanya served as CPMG's Medical Director for five years. Before CPMG, she was a Pediatric Hospitalist at Rady Children's Hospital, where her duties included direct patient care in the inpatient setting and other clinical roles. Tanya has worked extensively with groups of underserved children in San Diego, including service as a child abuse consultant for both the Chadwick Center and Polinsky Center, and as Medical Director for the Medical Clinic at Juvenile Hall. Throughout her career, she has worked with the Children's Program at San Diego Hospice and the Institute for Palliative Medicine, where she currently serves as Assistant Medical Director.

Tanya obtained her Board Certification in Hospice and Palliative Medicine in 2004. Recently she was elected to the tenth class of the California HealthCare Foundation’s Health Care Leadership Program for 2010-2012. Within the program, she will have the opportunity to hone skills that will carry a positive impact on healthcare policy and delivery in California. Beyond her office hours, Tanya has invested volunteer work with Camp Laurel, a camp for children affected by HIV/AIDS, for over 10 years. She has worked as its camp doctor, served on its Board of Directors and currently sits on the Advisory Board. She is also involved with another non-profit organization, A Reason To Survive, which works with children who are facing potentially debilitating life challenges, such as chronic illness, abuse, and homelessness.

Tanya earned her BS in Physiology from UC Davis, and her MD from the University of Southern California's Medical School. She did her Chief Residency and Pediatric Residency at UC San Diego. In her leisure time, Tanya enjoys time with her family and two dachshunds, and skiing whenever possible - she was a competitive ski racer in high school and college.

About the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization
ABL supports the needs of its Member CEOs by providing a place for top-level executives to draw on the experience, knowledge and skill sets of their peers in a vertical industry, personal advisory board – “multi-coach approach” – setting.

The core component of the CEO Membership experience is the group Round Table meeting. Members meet once a month for a half-day with a group of peer CEOs, Presidents, COOs and Division General Managers from non-competing companies, all from the same industry (healthcare, technology or life sciences), in a trusted and confidential board room-like setting, which allows ABL Members to tackle topics and enhance their decision making and business performance. Topics include: developing and honing new business strategies and best practices, new lines of business, “A-players” on the management team, and an effective board of directors, as well as understanding trends in new markets, mergers and acquisitions, compensation, and other “hot” topics brought to the Round Tables by the Members themselves.

ABL Members also gather several times a year at workshops and conferences to exchange ideas and connect with other chief executives beyond their own CEO peer groups. In effect, ABL Members serve as one another’s business coaches within the Round Tables and are encouraged to connect and leverage their co-Member peers’ particular skills and expertise for additional leadership coaching, one-on-one, outside of their monthly group meeting. In addition, each Round Table’s facilitator also serves as an objective business advisor, offering executive and industry insights and advice.

 ABL's Chief Executive Leadership Development Round Table program is currently offered in California's Greater Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco County areas. More information about the ABL Organization can be found at http://www.abl.org .
