Chris has been in the healthcare industry for 36, first as a nurse, and now she’s serving as the CEO of St. Luke’s Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. Throughout her time in healthcare, her commitment to serving patients, colleagues, her professional organizations, and her community has been evident. She claims that “it’s all about relationships,” and it shows.
