Mr. Heinrich assumed the role of president and CEO of Adventist Health in 2022, bringing with him seven years of prior service on the organization’s board and a deep commitment to its mission and culture. Under his leadership, Adventist Health has expanded its network of care with additional hospitals and clinics, reduced associate turnover by more than 30% since 2021, and achieved its highest levels of employee engagement and Gallup scores since his arrival. The system saw more than 3 million clinic visits in 2024, as well as year-over-year revenue growth. A landmark initiative under his tenure is the systemwide transition to Epic EHR, targeted for completion by September 2026 and the largest single investment in the system’s history. In 2024, Adventist Health led the development of the first and largest-ever “energy as a service” partnership in the nation, resulting in $457 million in energy infrastructure investment, funded entirely through energy savings, and a 20% reduction in carbon emissions. Mr. Heinrich has maintained a strong focus on community impact, with Adventist Health investing more than $1 billion in community benefit annually, and on strengthening collaboration across the health system’s geographically intentional networks to meet the distinct needs of each community served. He serves as chair of all 27 Adventist Health hospital community boards and served as chair of the California Hospital Association’s board of trustees in 2024. Mr. Heinrich was named to the Sacramento Business Journal‘s “Power 100” list of influential leaders in 2025, and Adventist Health earned the 2024 “Digital Health Most Wired Level 7” recognition for both acute and ambulatory care from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives.
