Member Spotlight

Parker Beasley, MSHA, MBA

What are you doing now?

I am the Director of Business Development and Interim Director of Operations for Baylor Scott & White Heart Hospitals. I cover all three campuses. I did my Administrative Fellowship with Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital in 2020 and have been with them since.

Prior to joining Baylor Scott & White, I worked in Finance with UAB Medicine, All State, and Service Master.

In your opinion, what is the most important issue facing health care today?

I believe that the most important issue in healthcare today is whether value based care will expand. The shift from fee for service to a more capitated fee has been around for years and more value based care has been implemented. Will it replace fee for service?

How long have you been a member of ACHE?

I joined as a student member during my Master of Science in Health Administration program at University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Why is being a member important to you? Has ACHE membership been a benefit in your career?

ACHE provides an opportunity to network with other members and gain a new perspective. I appreciate the educational opportunities of ACHE. I will be pursuing my ACHE Fellow soon.

What advice would you give early careerists or those considering membership?

Parker’s advice to early careerists is to get involved and be open to trying various things and opportunities. Be open to change.
