Dr. White has served as executive vice president and chief clinical officer at Valleywise Health since 2019, advancing the system’s mission to improve clinical outcomes, enhance patient experience and grow key programs. He led the successful transition of more than 200 patients from the legacy county hospital to the new Valleywise Health Medical Center in a single day, a complex operational milestone. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he helped guide the organization through significant disruptions as the hospital managed surges of critically ill patients. In 2025, he championed Proposition 409, an $898 million bond package approved by voters to expand behavioral health bed capacity and emergency services, serving as a chief spokesperson for the initiative. Under his leadership, the system earned its first “A” Leapfrog patient safety rating while experiencing record patient volumes, marking a significant turnaround from prior lower safety grades. A practicing interventional cardiologist, Dr. White also serves as associate dean at the Creighton University School of Medicine and as chairman of the Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance, supporting physician workforce development in Arizona.
