In this episode of Health at Work, former Dayton Children’s Hospital CEO Debbie Feldman joins hosts Cory Earl, president and publisher of the Dayton Business Journal, and Jimmy Phillips, chief strategy officer at Kettering Health.
Feldman reflects on her leadership journey, the transformation of Dayton Children's into a leading pediatric health system, and the importance of culture, purpose and community impact.
“Building a culture is the No. 1 thing every leader should do,” Feldman says. “And that old adage, ‘the culture eats strategy for lunch,’ has never been truer.”

Feldman also discusses collaboration between the region's healthcare organizations and why strong relationships and mission-driven leadership remain critical to organizational success.
