Emily Randle

CEO

MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center

Fountain Valley, CA

Ms. Randle, recently named as CEO of MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center, oversees the multi-service campus and its ambulatory network. She has played a key role in the hospital’s growth and modernization, leading significant capital investments and facility transformation in her previous role as COO, which she had held since 2012. Her leadership team’s focus on employee engagement and high-quality, safe care, resulted in impressive growth in many areas. These include caring for a significant portion of high acuity level patients and expanding the catheterization laboratory and sterile processing unit to serve volume increases. With high patient demand, she has led successful efforts in the management of critical throughput and patient lengths of stay. The work of Ms. Randle and her team resulted in many local, state and national accolades, including being named one of the “Best of Orange County Hospitals” by readers of The Orange County Register for 13 years and being named a top workplace for several years. Under her leadership, the hospital was listed as high-performing in 15 procedures and conditions by U.S. News & World Report, and as a best regional hospital for equitable access. The cardiology program earned seven consecutive 3-star ratings from Society of Thoracic Surgeons for excellence in coronary artery bypass grafting and multi-procedural cardiac surgery cases, becoming the first hospital in Orange County to receive this distinction. The movement disorders program has performed the most magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound procedures on the West Coast, and the hospital received California’s Maternal Quality Care Collaborative’s “Superstar Award” for medium birth volume hospitals.
