The tide is turning at Main Line Health, and Edward Jimenez is leading the change with teamwork, writes Ron Southwick for Chief Healthcare Executive
New President and CEO, Jimenez, brings decades of executive experience and a clear message: healthcare leaders can’t do it alone. “Leaders, in many ways, we’re taught to be superheroes,” Jimenez says. “And I think that’s okay, but the best leaders value their teams. The best leaders look to others.”
Main Line Health is entering a new chapter after the retirement of longtime CEO Jack Lynch. Jimenez succeeds him with a deep appreciation for collaboration.
Jimenez cites the Super Bowl champion Eagles and the Chicago Bulls in the ‘90s as examples of teams built to complement the strengths of their players. “I’m a big believer in having a team filled with people that have wonderful skills,” he said. “Because that’s what’s absolutely going to make the organization better.”
Before arriving in the Philadelphia area, Jimenez led major hospitals in New Jersey and Florida. Now, in an ever-shifting healthcare industry, he’s focused on building a team that adapts and supports one another.
