Austin Reeder Named President of Froedtert Hospital

Austin Reeder has been selected to serve as the next president of Froedtert Hospital, eastern Wisconsin’s only academic medical center. Reeder served as system vice president and chief operating officer for Ochsner Medical Center, the flagship academic medical center in New Orleans. Since joining Ochsner Health in 2017, he rapidly progressed through leadership positions, having served first as chief executive officer, Ochsner Medical Center-St. Charles Parish Hospital, before assuming the role of vice president of Hospital Operations and Patient Throughput at Ochsner Medical Center-New Orleans. Prior to his time at Ochsner Health, Reeder worked in a variety of successive roles at East Jefferson General Hospital, Metairie, La., eventually assuming the role of vice president, Service Lines and Operations.

“Austin’s experience leading operations and establishing external partnerships at a freestanding community hospital, managed community hospital and large academic destination medical center, have prepared him for leadership in a complex yet rewarding environment,” said Imran Andrabi, MD, president and CEO of Froedtert ThedaCare Health. “We are confident that his proven track record of leading growth initiatives and expanding academic programs will greatly benefit the communities we are privileged to serve.”

“I am deeply honored to serve as the next president of Froedtert Hospital and look forward to building internal and external relationships that help create true value,” said Reeder. “I’m most excited about applying a people-first approach in a purpose-driven culture that achieves continuous improvement through innovation and operational excellence.”
