As a dual physician and attorney-entrepreneur and innovator with 20 years of starting and running successful businesses, and 10 years of clinical practice and 5 years of hospital leadership in complex healthcare systems in rural communities, I would be honored and excited at the prospect of serving as LCMHS’s next CEO.
I will be present, supportive, and engaged to lead with compassion through holistic motivation of our high performance healthcare teams. By harmonizing team dynamics to foster clinical excellence, we will continue to see superb patient experience at LCMHS.
In a health system in Central Maine, I have provided day-to-day leadership over the entire department and service lines with the expectation to execute strategic growth and help scale services to positively impact the bottom line. I also had full P&L accountability while setting the overall strategy, growing revenue, ensuring physician and patient retention, delivering against the revenue and expense targets set in the annual plan/budget, and setting and successfully executing the strategic direction of the health system.
At LCMHS, with direction from the Board, I will lead as a team to turn strategy to measurable outcomes by:
- Answering the “why” to our staff to clarify and articulate the desired outcomes
- Be clear about the extent of change the new strategy will require, and how the multi-year plan journey signals a serious change that will require our hospital to fundamentally reinvent how we could better serve our community with fiscal soundness
- To promote the new direction, we will provide consistent messaging that will share any metrics or rewards linked to the desired change
