ThedaCare Names Imran Andrabi, MC New President and CEO ThedaCare Board of Trustees named Imran Andrabi, MD, as the new president and chief executive of-ficer of the Wisconsin-based healthcare organization at its board meeting on Tuesday, April 18. Dr. An-drabi will loin ThedaCare on June 19 following the retirement of Dr. Dean Gruner, who has led the system for nine years. Dr. Andrabi, 49, comes to ThedaCare from Mercy Health, a non-profit Catholic healthcare ministry serving Ohio and Ken-tucky. He began with Mercy Health (formerly Catholic Healthcare partners) as an intern and medical resident 25 years ago and steadily advanced to become regional presi-dent and chief executive officer of the Toledo region in 2015. At Mercy Health, Dr. Andrabi consistently led his team in achieving outstanding quality care performance, improving customer experience, as well as growing the system and the number of physicians recruited. He is known for shaping a clear vision of the future of healthcare, helping others in the healthcare profession to advance, and furthering his organi-zation’s contributions to the community. “ThedaCare has a compelling vision for the next generation of healthcare in the communities we serve right here in Wis-consin,” said John Davis, president of the ThedaCare Board of Trustees and CEO of Great Northern corp. “We want to in-creasingly provide peace of mind for our customers, our team and our neighbors as healthcare evolves. Through a thought-ful and thorough process, we sought a leader who share sin that vision, Who successfully leads a healthcare organization to continually grow and become better, and who values cus-tomers’ perspectives, cares for caregivers, and builds rela-tionships in the community.” Dr. Andrabi chose to accept the leadership role at ThedaCare in large part because of the reputation the healthcare organization has nationally. “When I think of best-in-class healthcare, ThedaCare is one that have admired over the years,” said Dr. Andrabi. “This includes the work ThedaCare is doing in quality and Lean Six Sigma. So when the opportunity arose, I had to explore it, because of my admiration for the work the people at ThedaCare have been doing for a long time. “When I visited locations within ThedaCare, I found everyone to be extremely open and welcoming, which says a lot abut the culture. They were willing to share their perspectives, successes and chal-lenges. That openness is really what helped make a difficult decision—to leave Mercy, where I have been for so long—feel like the right tone.” Dr. Gruner leaves ThedaCare after serving as president and CEO since 2008. Under his direction, ThedaCare has continued to grow as the largest healthcare provider in Northeast Wisconsin and the largest locally based employer with 6,700 employees, seven hospitals, 32 clinics and other healthcare services across nine counties. Dr. Andrabi received his medical degree from King Edward Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan, and is certified by the American Board of Family Practice. With an interest in helping others in the healthcare field advance, Dr. Andrabi has been actively involved in teaching medical students as teaching faculty at the Medical College of Ohio and the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. In addition, he serves on numerous boards and committees to improve the health and economic status of the Toledo community. “Over the years, I have learned the importance of listening and understanding,” said Dr. Andrabi. “One of the first things I need to do as I join ThedaCare is to listen and understand the foundation Dr. Gruner has in place to improve the health of the community, and the opportunities and challenges ahead.” Dr. Andrabi will join ThedaCare as it addresses a future of convenient, accessible healthcare—one where customers may seek technology-enabled medical services online, at home, at work, at neighbor-hood clinics and in outpatient or critical care locations when needed. ThedaCare leadership has a stra-tegic focus that lays the foundation for these multiple touch points for customers. This includes the dis-cussion of a next-generation medical center in the Fox Cities. Dr. Andrabi and his team will build from this strategic focus to move forward. Personal introductions will be planned with ThedaCare physicians and staff, partners, boards, donors and community leaders among others when Dr. Andrabi begins with ThedaCare in June. Dr. Andrabi and his wife, Reema, have two adults sons and a daughter in high school, and are in the process of planning visits to look at homes in the area.
