Leading Through Change, featuring Tina Freese Decker

The Health Management Academy's Table Podcast is excited to have welcomed Tina Freese Decker to the table for a transparent discussion with our host and CEO, Renee DeSilva. As President & CEO of Corewell Health, Tina is leading the way for Michigan's largest health system. With over 13 billion in revenue, 22 hospitals, and 60k team members, Corewell is making a huge impact, covering 1.2 million lives under its health plan. One of my key takeaways from our conversation with Tina is her belief in 'systemness' - finding the perfect balance between shared, systemwide goals and honoring local environments. It's incredible to witness how this vision is coming to life at Corewell, nearly eighteen months after the integration.We also delved into Corewell's health equity initiatives, where they've made strides in vital areas like infant mortality and youth suicide prevention. Led by Dr. Lynn Todman, their dedication to engaging with local communities and building trust is truly inspiring. Tina's reflections on her leadership philosophy were equally captivating, especially as she shared how it evolved over the years. Her emphasis on over communicating and over listening was a standout - a true testament to her commitment to fostering a thriving and united organization. Thank you, Tina Freese Decker, for an enlightening and empowering discussion! We look forward to witnessing Corewell Health's continued success and positive impact on the lives of so many.<br/><br/>Listen to more episodes: https://hmacademy.com/table-podcast/The Table Podcast, hosted by Renee DeSilva, CEO of The Health Management Academy, amplifies real conversations about the healthcare issues that matter. <br/><br/>Renee DeSilva, a highly experienced professional in the healthcare industry for over two decades, is widely recognized as a sought-after speaker, moderator, panelist, and host.
