Description

Real leadership that leads to high engagement, higher performance, and a culture of accountability is at the heart of Chris Van Gorder's approach. As president and CEO of Scripps Health, one of America's most prestigious health systems, he presided over a dramatic turnaround, catapulting the organization from near bankruptcy to financial stability. Van Gorder shares his own incredible story, from police officer to CEO, and the leadership philosophy that drives all of his decisions and actions: people come first. His values learned on the force - protecting the community, educating citizens, developing caring relationships, and doing the right thing - shape his approach to business. By putting employees and customers at every level, Van Gorder leads from the front lines, making it a priority to know and understand their needs. This approach has been instrumental in transforming Scripps into a top employer and a dominant market position.
