A healthcare executive in Dallas, Texas, Paul Generale joined CHRISTUS Health in 1998 and has served as executive vice president and chief strategy officer since 2015. Paul Generale recently appeared on the Becker’s Hospital Review podcast to speak on topics related to healthcare system strategies for successful mergers and acquisitions.
In recent years, CHRISTUS Health has grown to include 60 hospitals and post-acute care facilities, 175 clinics and ambulatory centers, plus numerous additional health ventures. Moving forward, Mr. Generale discusses how the health system seeks to become more integrated by addressing and filling gaps in its services, given the unique needs of the communities it serves. Particularly, the system is working to add high-quality, multi-specialty care groups that expand its potential pool of patients.
To engage in successful mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Generale recommends making a clear assessment of the potential acquisition. This includes not only financial due diligence, but taking a close look at the leadership culture of the organization, the willingness of partners to adapt their operations, and the overall alignment of organizational goals.
