As chief administrative officer of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, Ms. Breza provides leadership and direction aligned with the overall system strategy and holds the highest-ranking role at the hospital, the equivalent to a CEO role. She is responsible for all administrative aspects of the hospital and related entities, as well as compliance with regulatory agencies, while ensuring objectives that enhance the quality and service of patient care are met. Ms. Breza has spent 40 years with the RWJUH Hamilton team in positions of increasing responsibility, including direct patient care and multiple clinical leadership roles. As CNO, she led the nursing team to achieve the hospital’s first Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In November 2023, she was appointed chief administrative officer after serving in the role on an interim basis for four months, and she has since worked with the executive team to drive strategic plans that improved quality of care, increased patient satisfaction, attracted top nursing talent and supported financial growth. In 2024, Ms. Breza received the hospital’s inaugural DAISY “Nurse Leader Award.” She is a member of numerous committees, including the local hospital board, the board’s finance committee and quality and patient safety committee, the medical executive committee and the New Jersey Hospital Association healthcare business solution board.
