For Dwight W. McBee, Executive Vice President of Clinical Health Equity and Chief Experience Officer at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, his purpose has always been clear, even through challenging moments. His sister suffered from sickle cell anemia, and before she passed, Dwight stuck by her side. The experience was difficult, but it’s what sparked his desire to help people reconnect with their “why.”

Healthcare has always been a challenging field, but the past few years have been especially taxing. In a time when many feel discouraged, we need to reignite passion and sense of purpose, but it’s only when leaders push their teams that it can come to life.

In this episode, Dwight shares a moment when a leader pushed him. He wasn’t looking to be seen, but someone saw him anyway. He went from a night nurse in a cardiac unit to the Executive Vice President of Clinical Health Equity, and Chief Experience Officer at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, all because a mentor took the time to invest in and push him. Today, Dwight is responsible for implementing patient satisfaction goals, and now finding and retaining quality healthcare workers in an increasingly non-traditional workplace. Listen in to learn more about how you can do the same.
