Under New Leadership, Central Health Picks Up the Pace of Healthcare Transformation
When Dr. Patrick Lee became president and CEO of Travis County’s hospital district in early 2024, “My goal was to bring new energy to Central Health’s mission and let the district be creative and strong in meeting community needs,” he said recently. “Central Health today is definitely not the same as it was 20-years ago, or even one year ago.”
Lee started with five main goals:
- Building trust;
- Creating a shared vision;
- Figuring out where Central Health is now and how ready it is to change;
- Identifying quick wins that create momentum; and
- Getting the Central Health Board of Managers and executive team to agree and focus on these priorities.
