Chandler, Gilbert top in healthcare leadership
Executives from Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert medical centers, members of Catholic Healthcare West, were again recognized for healthcare leadership.
Several local Catholic medical centers were honored for their health care leadership. Click image for the full list.
“Arizona Business Magazine” presented top honors to staff from both campuses during its third annual awards dinner March 3 for excellence as a:
- Healthcare administrator — Kathleen Dowler, director of Mission Integration for both facilities
- Nurse or Nursing Advocate — Kim Wilson, vice president and chief nursing officer for Mercy Gilbert. Peg Smith, her counterpart at Chandler Regional was a finalist.
- Physician — Brian Tiffany, an emergency department doctor at both facilities. He’s contracted by an outside employer
- Researcher — Nabil Dib, director of Cardiovascular Research at both campuses
Laurie Eberst, president and CEO for Mercy Gilbert was a finalist in the Hospital Executive category.
Arizona Business Magazine clearly approves of the business model of both facilities. The homepage for both sites say the magazine ranked it best place to work and #1 small hospital (Mercy Gilbert) and #1 medium hospital (Chandler Regional) in Arizona.
By the way, the magazine also honored Lucy Ranus for community outreach at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. The award list didn’t provide a title, but it seems as though that she was once a program coordinator for Barrow Community, Education, Outreach and Prevention. Given the category of her award, she’s likely still in the same or a similar position.

Heads Up About Brian Tiffany-
Comment on May 22, 2010 07:26 pmChandler Regional lets a “doctor” named Brian Tiffany work in their E.R.
He’s incredibly hostile,demeaning,rude and arrogant. He literally walked in the room acting like that,for no apparent reason, except my child is on a lot of {PRESCRIBED-BY-DOCTORS} medicines…. for CHRONIC PROBLEMS. So were we treated like druggies ???? MAYBE. Or he might just treat everyone like that for all I know. Sheer hate was thick in the air from this guy. The only way this awful person can still be working is that people/hospitals cover for his mental problems. He has serious anger issues. We had the worst experience, in a place where you are supposed to be taken care of. I understand the world is getting worse all the time…politeness seems to be out and in-your-face seems to be in, but this was ridiculous. I would NEVER recommend Chandler Hospital. OR the rage-hate doctor who literally barked at my kid and barked at me. I tried complaining about this jerk and I was was treated like a problem at the hospital. They don’t care—but I do encourage people to at least complain about this guy, leave reviews, contact the hospital if you happen to experience his God Complex. At least that way other people will be warned.
