Recently, Riverview Health announced its new president and CEO, Seth Warren, appointed by the Riverview Health Board of Trustees. Warren will fill the shoes of current retiring President and CEO Pat Fox. He assumed his role April 25.
Current in Westfield caught up with Warren to learn more about his background and hopes for the future of Riverview Health.
Age: 49.
Family: Wife Maureen. Married 22 years this June. Three sons, Hunter, 18, Christian, 16, and Quinn, 10.
College: “I graduated from the University of Richmond in 1989 and received my graduate degree from Syracuse in 1999. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Richmond and a Masters of Business Administration from Syracuse.”
When did you move to Hamilton Co.?
“Our first stint here was from 1998-2002. My wife Maureen, our then 1-year-old son and I lived in Carmel when I was working for St. Francis Hospitals in Beech Grove, Indianapolis and Mooresville.”
What’s your favorite place in the area so far?
“My youngest is a sports nut and was entranced by Grand Park when he played in a basketball tournament there recently.”
What are your other hobbies and interests?
“With my sons’ activities, most of my free time is spent centered around their sports and other events. I also enjoy fishing. I love to fish in Florida with my stepfather, brother-in-law and sons.”
How are you preparing for your new role at Riverview Health and in the Hamilton Co. community?
“Fortunately I have some knowledge of the healthcare market having worked here for a number of years and remaining close to it by working with my peers at Franciscan St. Francis Health and the other healthcare providers in the market. Pat Fox has been great about working with me, and I look forward to working with her as we overlap for awhile.”
How do you plan continue to implement the vision laid out by the Riverview Health organization and retiring President and CEO Pat Fox?
“I do not believe in change for change’s sake. I benefit from the vision the organization has had, and I fully intend to pick up right where Pat left off and continue the growth plans she, the board, administrative team and medical staff leadership have laid out. I am psyched about the new outpatient facility in Westfield and look forward to growing the hospital campus in Noblesville.”
