Podcast: Paul Hiltz — From Turning Around Written-Off Hospitals to a Billion-Dollar Health Network
In this episode, we talk with Paul Hiltz, President and CEO of Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH), an independent, locally governed health system in Southwest Florida. Paul spent 30 years turning around underperforming hospitals across Ohio and Kentucky before taking over NCH in 2019, where he has grown a $600M community hospital into a billion-dollar comprehensive health network with the #1 heart program in Florida. He is also a Forbes bestselling author. We cover his career journey, the grow-or-die culture he built by borrowing teamwork from the Blue Angels and a NASCAR pit crew, why he hires athletes and problem-solvers over pedigree, how he fights physician burnout, and where AI is taking healthcare.
