On Monday, March 7, 2022, B.J. Moore hosted the 11th in this series of Fireside Chats with Providence’s top leaders. This chat featured Erik Wexler, president, operations & strategy, South.
This series of recorded conversations is brought to us by the IS & RESO Caregiver Engagement Committee. Thank you for everyone who offered great questions for the conversation via Yammer and email.
Erik reveals his career journey, including how he started working Security at a hospital before transitioning into healthcare administration, and compares and contrasts working at for-profit and non-profit health systems. He provides thoughts on how Epic is helping Providence South, the impact of RESO on both joint venture projects and keeping our ministries safe during COVID, as well as his experience working alongside EVS’s Edward Chia when he was supporting the frontline COVID surge at Apple Valley. Erik also explains the importance of a feeling of belonging for retaining our talent during this workforce crisis and how IS Administrative Technology has helped. Finally, he shares how he challenges himself and each of us to double down on compassion, justice and equity.
