S2 E11 | How a Daily Dose of Culture Leads to a Stronger Organization and Strategic Plan

Scott Smith, President of St. Anthony's Hospital, joins host Owen LaFave to explore the hospital's rich history and its deep roots in the St. Petersburg community. Founded in 1921 as Faith Hospital and acquired by the Franciscan Sisters of Alleghany in 1931, this 448-bed facility became part of BayCare in 1997, the largest hospital network in West Central Florida with 16 hospitals. Scott reflects on how the Franciscan Sisters' mission and values continue to shape the hospital's culture over a century later. He also delves into the evolving landscape of healthcare post-pandemic and highlights BayCare's groundbreaking innovations, such as the St. Joseph's Just Walk Out partnership with Amazon and the launch of the BayCare Virtual Hospital. Tune in to hear Scott's thoughtful approach to building and executing a strategic plan that emphasizes culture, process, financial health, and growth— a formula for success that's just what the doctor ordered!   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC
