On Friday, June 10, System Services leaders visited Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen as part of the new Leader Listening Tour series.
The Leader Listening Tour, formerly known as Face Time, connects System Services leaders with hospital employees and leadership to discuss local issues and concerns.
“We’re here to listen and discuss what’s on your minds,” said CEO Barclay Berdan, FACHE, during a 30-minute Take a Break with Barclay meeting with employees.
