Swedish Hospital, an award‑winning, non‑profit teaching hospital located in Chicago, offers a distinctive leadership opportunity for an experienced healthcare executive who is energized by both enterprise‑scale complexity and hands‑on hospital leadership. As part of Endeavor Health—Illinois’ third‑largest health system and a $6.5B organization—Swedish combines the agility and identity of a community‑connected hospital with the resources, infrastructure, and clinical breadth of a highly successful integrated system.
The President will assume overall accountability for Swedish Hospital while also serving in a system‑level dyad leadership role for Radiology, partnering closely with physician and nursing leadership to advance performance, quality, access, and consistency across Endeavor Health. This dual scope creates a rare opportunity to influence both hospital‑level outcomes and enterprise‑wide service line strategy within a mature, integrated delivery system.
This role is well‑suited for an operational leader who values clarity of accountability, board‑level engagement, and visible leadership presence. The President will work closely with Endeavor Health executive leadership, Swedish’s Board of Directors, physicians, and community stakeholders, balancing local stewardship with system alignment. Key priorities include strengthening operating performance; advancing quality, safety, and patient experience performance; developing and mentoring a high‑performing leadership team; and supporting system radiology initiatives that leverage Endeavor Health’s scale and advanced capabilities.
Endeavor Health’s approach intentionally preserves the culture, mission, and community identity of Swedish Hospital while providing leaders with access to shared services, clinical institutes, capital investment, and enterprise expertise. For a results‑oriented executive leader, this is an opportunity to lead with autonomy, make visible impact, and contribute to a high‑performing health system that is unified in purpose but disciplined about local accountability.
