\nPrior to Gummo\u2019s employment at Tyrone Hospital in September 2001, she worked in the Washington County Human Resource Department as a Human Resources Generalist.

\n\u201cI feel very proud and honored that I was able to get into the professional society,\u201d said Gummo. \u201cI feel it\u2019s going to be a strong contribution to Tyrone Hospital.\u201d
\nMember status is the first level of professional achievement in ACHE. Members must demonstrate their educational preparation and commitment to the healthcare field through an extensive application process. Member status provides a path for advancing to Diplomate status.
\nDiplomate status is achieved after meeting application requirements and passing an extensive written examination. Fellow status, the highest level of professional achievement, may be attained after a specified number of years of service as a Diplomate, continuing professional development, demonstration of leadership and community service, and completion of an original, detailed project by the candidate.
\n\u201cOver time what you have to do is complete certain credentials, and of course, it\u2019s a time factor where you have to put in so many years at a certain level,\u201d said Gummo. \u201cEventually, I would like to move up through the professional society.\u201d
\nThe American College of Healthcare Executives requires extensive credentials for individuals to be accepted.
