With a foundation in strategic execution and team development, I’ve built and led high-performing organizations that deliver exceptional clinical outcomes, financial strength, and physician partnership.Currently, I oversee operations across multiple surgical facilities in Kentucky and Indiana with an annual operating budget of $32 million, leading cross-functional teams to deliver results aligned with enterprise and local market goals. My leadership is anchored in four core pillars: • Growth through physician recruitment, network expansion, de novo development, and new service line launches • Operational efficiency by optimizing processes, managing costs, and improving throughput • Clinical excellence by advancing quality outcomes, patient safety culture, and accreditation readiness • Physician alignment by cultivating trust, reinforcing mutual accountability, and supporting consistent surgical volume growthI’m passionate about advancing healthcare access and quality through strong partnerships, operational discipline, and people-first leadership.
