Overseeing nine hospitals and nearly 200 care sites across Northeast Florida, the Panhandle and Southeast Georgia, Mr. Shaw drives Ascension Florida’s strategic growth, partnerships and financial performance. His leadership has resulted in expanded access through new care sites, including two freestanding emergency departments and a 44-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility in Pensacola, Fla. He has championed cutting-edge technologies, such as pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation and the state-of-the-art Da Vinci 5 surgical robot, making Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside in Jacksonville, Fla. one of the first hospitals in the world to use the advanced system. Under his guidance, higher acuity programs have grown, with Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola achieving level I trauma designation and Ascension St. Vincent’s St. Johns (Fla.) County becoming the only primary stroke center in its region. Mr. Shaw is also expanding clinical trial infrastructure, ensuring patients gain first-line access to groundbreaking treatments.
