In recognition of Black History Month, Rutgers SPAA engaged Darrell K. Terry Sr., President and CEO of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey, in a conversation about being a strategic leader during a global pandemic. Terry is a 25-year employee of RWJBarnabas Health and has more than 35 years of experience in healthcare administration at three major New Jersey healthcare organizations.
Terry spoke about his "servant leadership style" and noted that his role is to provide support, mentally and physically, and to ensure that staff have the resources they need to take care of patients. "The people who choose healthcare as a profession are the most incredible people that I have ever met, and it never became more obvious than when this pandemic started. It's really an honor and privilege to lead this group of men and women through difficult times."
