Bradley C. Bond

CFO

University Hospitals

Cleveland, OH

Mr. Bond is CFO of University Hospitals, a comprehensive health system with annual revenues of $7.3 billion, more than 32,000 employees, 21 hospitals, five joint ventures, more than 50 health centers and outpatient facilities, and over 200 physician offices across 16 counties in Northeast Ohio. He is responsible for all financial, treasury, managed care contracting, insurance, revenue cycle, IT, supply chain and materials management services. Mr. Bond led one of the most dramatic financial turnarounds in the system’s recent history, guiding it from multiple consecutive years of operating losses to $191.8 million in operating income in 2025. That constituted a swing from a $172.6 million operating loss in 2024 and a return to stability after more than $500 million in losses between 2022 and 2024. Under his direction, the system grew operating revenue 14.6% to $7.3 billion in 2025 while holding expense growth to 8.7%, supported by a “revenue cabinet” focused on accurate payment and an “expense cabinet” that eliminated about $100 million in costs by reducing waste and unwinding pandemic-era premium pay. He co-leads the system’s “Mission Investment” strategy, which directed a $720 million community health investment in 2024, comprising $511 million in traditional community benefit and $209 million in unreimbursed Medicare costs. Mr. Bond also drove performance improvements through UH Ventures, including restructuring the system’s home-care business into a profitable strategic asset. He was named a “Notable Leader in Finance” by Crain’s Cleveland Business in 2024 and 2025.
