Throughout Ms. Schiller’s 26-year tenure at Children’s Hospital of Orange County, she has played a pivotal role in transforming CHOC from a regional pediatric hospital to a nationally-recognized pediatric healthcare system. She leads multiple teams across financial planning, accounting, insurance, managed care, risk contracting, information systems, technology, real estate and revenue cycle. Within the first decade of her leadership, CHOC’s revenues increased 215%. Ms. Schiller also helped the healthcare system earn its first standalone rating: an A + credit bond rating from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s. Her financial acumen has been critical in advancing CHOC’s enterprise master plan, which encompasses new construction and significant renovations that will increase the healthcare system’s capacity to serve the community’s evolving needs. At the heart of this plan is the seven-story Bill Holmes Tower, which opened in 2013 and features new, state-of-the-art operating rooms, cardiac cath labs, imaging, laboratory and pathology services, and Orange County’s first pediatric-only emergency department. Another major enterprise master plan milestone will be the opening of the new nine-story Southwest Tower in 2025, an ambulatory facility featuring a state-of-the art patient and family-friendly environment .
