FROM OUR PRESIDENT

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams (U.S. President, 1825-1829)

Three people who epitomized President Adams’ definition of a leader have retired, or soon will be retiring, from their current roles.

We are forever indebted to them for their foresight and often courageous decision-making during their careers. Their many achievements have greatly impacted the growth and health of our city and state.

That’s why the entire Bryan Health family extends sincere thanks and congratulations to Lincoln Chamber of Commerce President Wendy Birdsall, Nebraska Hospital Association President Laura Redoutey and Lincoln Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Steve Joel. We celebrate their years at the helm of their respective organizations and wish them every success as they navigate new pathways.

Now it’s time to welcome Nebraska Hospital Association President Jeremy Nordquist and Lincoln Chamber of Commerce President Jason Ball. May their efforts generate similar levels of success to benefit generations to come.

As we have for more than 90 years, Bryan is committed to continuing collaboration — it’s our honor and distinct privilege to work side by side with such leaders.

Bryan Health. Forward. Together.

Russ Gronewold President and Chief Executive Officer, Bryan Health

During the pandemic, the community continues to rally around our health care workers. Organizations and companies, such as Spreewell co-workers who visited Bryan West Campus, bring cheerful signs and gifts to share with staff as they begin and end shifts.
