Career Roadmap
Upholding a Cause and Belief
Day to Day
We’re a very large healthcare enterprise, so while I am in the hospital a lot, my job is largely external. I work with the board of directors on governance to make sure there's a leadership structure that can maintain all of our operations. I create a vision for the organization and the strategic plan. I make sure we’re compliant with all local, state and federal laws. I spend a lot of time on leadership development by hiring and developing a very high-quality management team.
