Mr. Freysinger is in his sixth year as CEO of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, capping more than 30 years as a healthcare executive. He leads more than 680 associates and medical staff at the largest full-service regional medical center between Boise, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash.

The hospital’s “Family Beginnings” maternity program was named high performing for maternity care for a second consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report, which also designated it a 2024 “Maternity Care Access Hospital,” one of only a few dozen such hospitals nationwide. In May 2025, the hospital earned its second consecutive “A” grade for patient safety from the Leapfrog Group. Mr. Freysinger has served on the executive committee of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association and the Southeast Michigan Health and Hospital Council, and previously served as president of the Hospital Emergency Management Systems in Wayne, Mich.
