admin To have proper access to healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury available to only a few, rather it should be readily available to all. With the onset of the pandemic, all the shortcomings of the healthcare sector have been ripped out into the open and the most pressing issue of all is the accessibility of healthcare especially in the economically challenged regions.
Delta Regional Medical Center is the largest hospital in the Mississippi Delta, providing about $25 million per year in free medical care. With just under 1,000 employees, the hospital has been able to work wonders while also leaving a tremendous positive economic impact in the lives of people. It aims to provide medical aid to all without discriminating on any grounds or barriers.
The Man Who Succeeded Against All Odds
The CEO of this prestigious hospital is Scott Christensen. He has worked tirelessly to make this organization what it is today. The road to success surely hasn’t been a bed of roses for him. He has faced his share of struggles and started out as an unpaid intern in a hospital in Illinois, all his efforts centred towards getting his foot through the door.
His endeavours today have reached fruition. Today, Delta is one of the most widely renowned hospitals in the country and more than that it is one where people have vested their trust. They have been able to incorporate themselves in the community and Christensen feels like they are all members of one big family.
Christensen is a man who can do it all and throughout his career he has been an over-achiever. He tries to take on as many responsibilities as possible and wants to stop at absolutely nothing. With time, he has crafted a style peculiar to him and he faces all challenges head-on and that is one of the primary reasons for his attainment of new feats of success.
I like the business side of things. I like running a business. What a tremendous bonus to do it in an industry with such a huge impact. If I can apply the business mindset to healthcare, hopefully that has a downstream impact on taking care of people in the right way – Scott Christensen, CEO
