In the role, Mr. Leonor will lead Adventist’s strategy and discourse on ethics, mission alignment, spiritual care and its relationship to faith. He has served as the 28-hospital system’s mission identity and spiritual care executive for the last five years.
“It genuinely warms my heart to have Sam step into this role, as I truly believe he is remarkably suited for the position,” Kerry Heinrich, president and CEO of Adventist, said in a news release dated July 1 shared with Becker’s. “Sam’s ability to inspire and lead with kindness, respect and collaboration reflects his genuine commitment to the well-being of our associates and patients.”
