Claire: Hi, it's great to be here today with E.W. Tibbs. We are going to be addressing a really important topic today, and that's about merit. What's merit got to do with team building.
E.W. Tibbs: Well, Claire, thanks for taking a couple of minutes today. And when you ask the question of what merit has to do with team building, the answer is simple. Everything.
Read MoreI'm here with E.W. Tibbs and we're going to have some short interview-style questions about different topics. The first topic that we'll be talking about is the importance of creating a team culture that fosters engagement. So what would you say goes into creating an unbeatable team culture?

Read MoreOn May 5th, 2022, our youngest daughter McKenzie graduated from Medical School with High Honors. Surrounded by family and friends, we watched as she walked across the stage to receive her Doctor of Osteopathy degree. It was even more special as our oldest daughter Emma was able to do McKenzie’s hooding as she graduated from the same Medical School just two years ago. McKenzie is going on to Dermatology Residency after having been inspired to do so by the loss of her uncle Tony to melanoma. No doubt Tony was looking down with a huge smile at “his girl” as she walked across that stage. God is good in so many ways and I am deeply grateful for the countless blessings that he has bestowed upon us!
On May 14th, our youngest daughter McKenzie married Ben Vaughan. Ben and Kenzie were clearly meant for each other. Our family welcomed him with open arms as the Vaughans did the same with Kenzie. Family and friends came from all over the country to celebrate and give thanks for such an incredible young couple. Kenzie and Ben are blessed to have found each other and we are so grateful to have each of them in our lives!
On May 15th, we celebrated sending McKenzie and Ben forward into their new world as husband and wife. Watch out world as what these two young people will accomplish is limitless with continued blessings from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Prayers for continued guidance and blessings for Kenzie and Ben.
Read MoreMany of us have fond memories of the playground and a seesaw. Now, as an adult and a leader, the seesaw is an illustration of life balance.
The first lesson I draw from the seesaw is this: be intentional about where you put your fulcrum. Be intentional about what you let weigh on your seesaw, whether it's personal, professional, emotional or spiritual. Be willing to reevaluate those things and their impacts, the impact you want to have, and the legacy you want to leave.

All too often, the media are focused on poor behavior, often aggressive and mean behavior, name calling and other things that if our mothers were watching, things they would not be proud of if we were the ones displaying that behavior.
The Civility Mirror means when I am preparing for an interaction and thinking about the words I choose, I think carefully, especially when it comes to how it might make another person feel.

Sometimes it is hard to appreciate the beauty of the journey. Reflection and memories often bring the most impactful and enduring lessons. Role models play such a critical role in our lives. Two of my role models were my grandmothers.

Growing up, my Dad was one the most influential figures in my life. He taught me how to work hard and to have a relentless desire to learn about everything around me. While he had a heart of gold and would give anyone the shirt off his back; he taught me situationally appropriate toughness and grit. As I reflect on the many days we spent together; my mind is drawn to the time we spent fishing and gardening. Dad was an expert fisherman and a master gardener. While I work diligently at both; I am only a fraction as talented as was he at either.

The best way to provide exemplary patient access is to go to where the patients are. It seems like a simple approach, but healthcare tends to invest in communities by population density usually defined by home address. My team at Centra Health, a four-hospital, not-for-profit integrated healthcare delivery system in Virginia, took a different approach, and it paid off in ways we could not imagine.

As a longtime healthcare Chief Executive Officer who began my career as a registered nurse, my passion has always been to take great care of people, both patients and caregivers. In doing so, I lead with my heart and care deeply about not hurting people.
How we accomplished this in the organizations where I have served is through disciplined process improvement and by investing in our people. We applied methodologies such as LEAN and focused on eliminating variation and waste.
