Local Healthcare Providers

Our guests this morning represent a couple of our local healthcare providers. We’ll be speaking with Dr. Roger Hartman of Kaiser Permanente and Susan Burden from Beach Cities Health District.

Dr. Roger Hartman was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey.  He went to college at Yale and attended New Jersey Medical School. He completed his residency in internal medicine and served as chief resident for a year at Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey.  After his residency, he moved to the South Bay and joined Kaiser Permanente.  Since then, he has practiced medicine in both the office and hospital and enjoys the challenge and diversity of practicing in these two very different settings. 

Susan M. Burden is Chief Executive Officer of Beach Cities Health District, where she has served since 2004. She provides strategic leadership and direction to all functions of one of the nation’s largest preventative health agencies and manages $90 million in assets, 175 employees and 700 active volunteers.  In 2010, Susan played an integral role in bringing the nationally recognized Blue Zones Project®, a community-wide initiative to create healthier and more productive citizens, to the Beach Cities in 2010. Since its inception, the Blue Zones Project has successfully lowered smoking and obesity rates in the community. 

Manhattan 360 regularly features Chamber Members and the services they provide for the community and today it’s all about one very important topic - healthcare.
