Through his role as chief growth and strategy officer, Mr. Church plays a pivotal role in shaping Parkview Health’s long-term growth, partnerships and innovation efforts across 14 hospitals. Over the past year, he has led major expansion initiatives, including the opening of Parkview Southwest Outpatient Center in Fort Wayne, the conversion of Parkview Kosciusko in Warsaw, Ind. into a full-service hospital, and a $45 million renovation of Parkview Behavioral Health Institute in Fort Wayne. His leadership has also been instrumental in Parkview’s 2023 affiliation with Bryan, Ohio-based Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers, integrating three new facilities into the health system. Focused on improving access, he helped establish a statewide ambulatory surgical center joint venture with Brentwood, Tenn.-based Surgery Partners, an expanded pediatric care partnership with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and a home-based healthcare collaboration with Loveland, Ohio-based CommonSpirit Health at Home. Recognizing the growing needs of complex patients, he also spearheaded the growth of Parkview’s specialty pharmacy program, which now includes a centralized automated fill pharmacy to better serve the system’s expanding footprint.
