Mr. Berdan has led Texas Health Resources as CEO since 2014, making him one of the longest-serving CEOs of a major health system in North Texas. He served as senior executive vice president and COO before ascending to his current role at the system’s helm. A nationally recognized and respected healthcare leader, he has led the system’s transformation from a traditional health system to one laser-focused on consumers and its mission of improving the health of the people in the communities it serves. Under his leadership, the system puts consumer needs and preferences at the forefront by offering high-quality, affordable and personalized experiences while addressing barriers to good health. Under his leadership, the system has grown into one of the largest employers in North Texas, boasting more than 30,000 employees and a culture of respect for consumers, employees and physicians that has earned the system repeated national recognition as one of the best workplaces in the industry. Most recently, the system appeared for the twelfth consecutive time on Fortune‘s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list, alongside consistent recognition on its “Best Workplaces in Texas” and “Best Workplaces in Health Care” lists. Mr. Berdan has also championed collaborative partnerships to address emerging healthcare issues and has remained deeply committed to giving back to the community. He is set to retire in September 2026.
