Mr. Gage leads enterprise financial strategy for Texas Children’s Hospital, the nation’s largest pediatric health system, overseeing financial management, revenue cycle and health plan functions across a four-campus system and more than 120 care locations statewide. Under his leadership, Texas Children’s achieved a $600 million financial turnaround during a period of significant healthcare industry financial pressure while maintaining strong credit ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. He has played a key role in advancing the organization’s long-term growth strategy, overseeing financial modeling and funding strategies for major capital investments, including expansion into Central Texas with the launch of Texas Children’s Austin Hospital and systemwide clinical infrastructure enhancements. He also supports development of the Kinder Children’s Cancer Center, a new pediatric cancer facility expected to exceed $600 million and developed in collaboration with Houston-based UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, an initiative backed by a $150 million lead gift within a broader campaign approaching $1 billion. Before returning to Texas Children’s in 2016, Mr. Gage served as CFO at Milwaukee-based Children’s Wisconsin and MD Anderson Cancer Center.
