Incredible Health Care Leaders
Business:Management
Dr. Marc Boom, the president and CEO of Houston Methodist in Houston, Texas, talks with Incredible Health CEO Iman Abuzeid about managing eight hospitals during compounding crises. He explains how his hospitals improvised in February when a days-long deep freeze knocked out power and water.
Dr. Boom and Dr. Abuzeid also talk about the importance of keeping employee morale up in times of crisis; how Houston Methodist avoided furloughs and layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of Governor Greg Abbott lifting the mask mandate in Texas; why Boom requires his employees to get a flu shot annually, and how the same policy was amended to include the COVID-19 vaccine; and what he has learned over the course of his career.
This interview was recorded in April 2021.
