Like a lot of health care executives, Derrick Jones has long days.
But when Jones, CEO of Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital since 2012, isn’t winning awards or helping employees to have a voice and feel engaged, you’ll probably find him spending time with his family. He took time out of his schedule to give Business First a look at what a typical day holds.
View the accompanying gallery to see how he balances all of it while still making time to spend with his wife Jamie and three daughters Natalie, Erin and Allison.
Business First profiled Jones in 2012 when he became CEO.
Jones earned a bachelor’s degree in health services administration at Auburn University and a master’s degree in health administration and business from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Prior to joining Lovelace, he was the CEO of HealthSouth Rehabilitation in Midland-Odessa, Texas, a job he had held since 2009. He also served as the associate administrator at Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital in Tucson, Ariz.
Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital was No. 16 on Business First's 2015 hospital list with 250 employees. Ardent Health Services, Lovelace’s parent company, generates $2 billion in annual revenue.
