About Dennis Lewis

As a senior healthcare talent strategy leader, I’ve dedicated my career to building high‑performing recruitment organizations that elevate clinical teams, strengthen operational performance, and support the long‑term growth of the health systems and medical groups I serve. Today, as Vice President of National Recruiting at Radiology Partners, I’m focused on developing a world‑class national recruitment function—one driven by data, grounded in partnership, and centered on creating an exceptional experience for physicians, teammates, and the leaders who rely on us.I bring a track record of leading large‑scale transformation and delivering measurable results across complex healthcare environments. At BJC HealthCare, I helped design and scale an in‑house physician recruitment team, reengineered system-wide workflows, and implemented benchmarking metrics that reshaped how the organization approached provider recruitment. Those efforts contributed to significant performance gains, including increasing annual hiring yield from 60 providers to 100+ within three years and sustaining growth even during the unique challenges of the pandemic.At Baptist Health, I continued that work by leading Physician Integration Services—recruitment, credentialing, onboarding, and business development—while partnering with clinical and executive leaders to advance organizational goals and improve provider experience.Throughout my leadership journey, I’ve remained passionate about building cultures where teams thrive. I believe deeply in collaboration, transparency, and supporting people in doing their best work. That’s reflected not only in my approach but in how I recognize and celebrate the exceptional teammates around me—a theme echoed across the work, gratitude, and team‑centered moments I often share.What energizes me most is the opportunity to shape how healthcare organizations attract, support, and retain the clinical talent that powers great patient care. I’m committed to driving operational excellence, cultivating inclusive and high‑trust teams, and advancing recruitment strategies that meet both today’s needs and tomorrow’s demands.If you\'re passionate about advancing healthcare talent, building great teams, or driving meaningful organizational change, I’d welcome the chance to connect.
