Randy’s leadership style is characterized by a bias for action, fearlessness in trying new approaches, and unwavering commitment to our Mercy mission and values. His passion for innovation and excellence has been particularly evident in his willingness to step into the role of the manager of Mercy Springfield's new “Innovation Unit.” I have no doubt as we kick of this important work, Randy will push boundaries and inspire his team to reach new heights helping to pave the way for the future of healthcare and care deliverly at Mercy.
