Joe Gaylord, Fairview’s former vice president for finance, has taken on a new role.
Fairview Health Services—one the largest integrated health systems in the Midwest, with 848 total staffed beds and over $4 billion in total patent revenue—has promoted Joe Gaylord to the position of chief financial officer.
Gaylord spent three years as Fairview’s system vice president for finance before stepping into his role as interim CFO in August. Before joining Fairview, Gaylord served as the chief financial officer at multiple organizations including Capella University and Regency Corporation, and has served on multiple boards in the Twin Cities with a focus on education. During his time with Fairview Gaylord has built an operationally focused finance support function aligned with the hospital, service line, and functional leaders. He has also held significant leadership roles in systemwide transformation projects.
"As someone already at the table as part of our critical planning and financial decision-making efforts, Joe is well-prepared to step into this role," Fairview President and CEO James Hereford, said in a press release shared with HealthLeaders. "His entrepreneurial mindset and his approach to thinking differently about health care’s future will help Fairview continue its longstanding reputation of high-quality care for patients, families, and communities."
