BWH this month named Debra Rogers its first executive director of Cardiovascular Services, a position created to help lead and manage the broad operational and administrative changes that will be put in place to improve patient care at the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center.
“Brigham and Women’s is changing the way cardiovascular care is delivered,” Kenneth Baughman, MD, director of BWH’s Advanced Heart Disease Section, said. “This creative approach requires a new administrative structure that matches the dramatic changes in the patient care model.”
Rogers, formerly director of Clinical Services, began her new position April 30. She is responsible for further development of BWH’s cardiovascular strategic plan and will focus on operational processes, improvements and service line growth and performance.
“Debra, a rising star in hospital administration, has distinguished herself as an outstanding and dedicated collaborator with limitless administrative capabilities,” Baughman said. “The progress in the Shapiro Center, from concept to reality, would not have been possible without Debra’s involvement over the last three years.”
In her former role, Rogers directed operations for the Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Intervention Center and the Infusion Service and served as transplant administrator for the hospital. Prior to her last position, Rogers was director of Finance and Projects for BWH’s Surgical Services Administration.
“This new role is a perfect fit for Debra,” Chief Operating Officer Kate Walsh said. “Our cardiovascular program will benefit tremendously from her talent, professionalism and enthusiasm.”
Rogers holds an MS in management from Lesley University and a BS from Syracuse University.
