Bringing more than 25 years of healthcare leadership experience to the roles, Mr. Phillips serves as CEO of TMC Rincon, TMC Health’s newest full-service acute-care hospital, and as the health system’s vice president for performance management. At the 132,000-square-foot hospital, which opened two years ago in Southeast Tucson, he has overseen rapid growth, including increased bed capacity and the addition of more general and orthopedic surgeons. TMC Rincon offers emergency care, inpatient services, imaging, a cardiac catheterization lab, operating rooms, and a growing labor and delivery program under his leadership. Mr. Phillips reinforces patient safety through daily rounding, a centrally located office and regular check-ins with night shift teams, while building relationships with churches, chambers of commerce, schools and employers in the community. He also serves as a professor of administrative pharmacy at Ferris State University and course coordinator for the “Financial Planning for Health Institution Leaders” program at the University of Wyoming. Before joining TMC Health, Mr. Phillips served as CEO of Canyon Vista Medical Center in Sierra Vista, Ariz. and COO of Havasu Regional Medical Center in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and spent about a decade each in executive and pharmacy leadership roles at Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Bronson Healthcare Group and Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health.
