I want to thank Dr. Hochman for his mentorship and Providence St. Joseph Health Sponsors Council and board for their confidence in me. I’m honored and humbled as I begin this new journey as Providence’s next president and CEO.”  

“Erik has dedicated his entire career to making health care better for patients and caregivers,” said Dr. Hochman. “Erik’s focus on Mission and his track record of successful transformation through collaboration will serve Providence well, and I am thrilled that he has answered the call to serve as our next president and CEO.”

Judy Marvin, M.D., chair of the Providence Medical Group board, added, “Erik understands the importance of partnering with clinicians. He is committed to making Providence the best place to practice medicine and to ensuring our physicians are well supported in meeting the needs of patients. We look forward to working with Erik as we continue to deliver on the quadruple aim of improving quality, access, affordability and experience.”

Before becoming COO, Wexler served as president of operations and strategy for Providence’s southern region, and earlier as regional chief executive for Providence Southern California. Wexler’s past leadership roles outside of Providence have included chief executive for Tenet Healthcare’s Northeast Region, overseeing operations in three states. He also worked for Vanguard Health Systems, and prior to that was senior vice president of LifeBridge Health and President of Northwest Hospital.   

Wexler serves on the American Hospital Association’s Regional Policy Board No. 9; is a member of the Board of Directors of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health; a board member of R1 (NASDAQ:RCM); and serves on the FBI Healthcare Advisory Council. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology and master’s in business administration from the University of Hartford in Connecticut and holds an Honorary Doctor of Science from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. 

“Throughout his career, Erik has consistently demonstrated that he is a leader who is passionate about addressing the most pressing issues in health care today: serving the poor and vulnerable, ensuring financial sustainability, addressing caregiver burnout, mitigating climate impacts and so much more,” said Rick Pollack, CEO of the American Hospital Association. “Providence’s leadership on those key issues is vital. We are excited to partner with Erik as he assumes this new role and continues Providence’s legacy of service and national leadership.”
