LISA LAURENT
Chief Medical Officer
Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center
Lisa Laurent, MD joined Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in late 2022 as chief medical officer. Under her leadership, the hospital has achieved or exceeded performance benchmarks in a multitude of areas. She builds relationships and trust, is a collaborative leader, and has worked exceptionally hard to create an environment where all physicians, especially women physicians, can flourish.
She developed a program entitled Empowerment in Practice to promote engagement, collaboration and patient referrals among women physicians, and has been asked to mentor or coach eight individuals since joining our hospital.
Dr. Laurent’s leadership style is strategic, democratic and affiliative, rooted in empathy and understanding – putting people first. She embraces and strives to model the behaviors of servant leadership by prioritizing the needs, success, and aspirations of those whom she leads in a non-judgmental and encouraging environment. She is deeply sensitive to the needs and concerns of the healthcare team and recognizes the importance of appreciating the value, health and well-being, and professional fulfillment of physicians, providers, nurses, associates and volunteers.
