Mr. Bourgeois serves as executive vice president, hospital operations and CNO for Children’s Health Plano’s Northern Market, with direct responsibility for all nursing operations. He has been a pivotal leader for the Plano campus since its earliest days, helping open the hospital in 2008 and later returning to guide its license separation and expansion of specialized services. In addition to the CNO role, he leads hospital operations for the northern market, overseeing facilities, engineering and security, ancillary services and nursing. In 2023, under his leadership, Children’s Health earned its fourth consecutive Magnet Designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In December 2024, he collaboratively led the design and opening of a 395,000-square-foot patient tower that tripled bed capacity and doubled the facility footprint, delivered on budget, ahead of schedule and without disrupting patient care. He also helped onboard more than 500 new team members ahead of the expansion while reducing patient harm during higher-than-normal volumes, and co-led implementation of smart pump interoperability in 2025 to enhance medication safety.
