David Cornelius wears many hats at Frederick Health. By involving other leaders in day-to-day choices and trusting them to also make their own decisions, David takes a collaborative approach when it comes to the multiple departments that he leads.
Accountability and communication are the topic of discussion in this episode as David shares how the pandemic drastically changed things. As the hospital leaves crisis mode and returns back to a more normal state, David continues to come up with new ideas to make Frederick Health an even better place. He has made it his goal to change the culture of the hospital by becoming more customer-service oriented for guests and having a strong internal culture for staff.

“I think if there's two things that I really focus on every single day, and I have an expectation of those people that work with me to focus on every day is number one, accountability. We gotta be accountable for all of our actions, whether they're right, whether they're wrong, whether they work out, whether they don't. And then secondly, communication. Like that's probably the toughest thing for people to get right. I still don't get it right, but we really work hard on how we communicate amongst each other and amongst our teams and amongst our external customers.”
