Dalfonso is replacing recently retired CFO Chris Nicosia.
Hilda Dalfonso—a 23-year healthcare industry veteran—has assumed the role of Chief Financial officer for two of Corpus Christi Medical Center’s hospitals and five affiliated care providers. Dalfonso began her new job on June 1, 2022, replacing recently retired CFO Chris Nicosia.
Dalfonso is joining Corpus Christi Medical Center— a system with over $400 million in net patent revenue and 250 staffed beds—after serving as the vice president of finance of SCL Health Good Samaritan Medical Center, a 234-bed hospital in Lafayette, Colorado. There she provided leadership over financial activities and key clinical and non-clinical operational areas. She also served as an interim leader supporting the chief operating officer and oversaw related departments.
During her career, Dalfonso has successfully developed key service line growth strategies, expedited facility expansions, and secured the center of excellence designations for robotic surgery. Dalfonso—a fellow of the Healthcare Financial Management Association and American College of Healthcare Executives—also co-led a hospital incident command team and provided operational leadership in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Hilda’s previous experience as a healthcare executive and her proven leadership record will be an asset to Corpus Christi Medical Center as we continue to expand our operations and patient services to meet the growing needs of the communities we serve," Eric Evans, CEO of Corpus Christi Medical Center, said in a release announcing Dalfonso’s appointment. "I look forward to working with her and have no doubt she will be a great addition to our senior leadership team."
