Position
Chief Supply Chain Officer, UVA Health

Steve brings more than 30 years of supply chain leadership across large integrated health systems, academic medical centers, and public healthcare organizations. He is a seasoned leader and will be a wonderful addition to UVA Health.

Prior to joining UVA Health, Steve served as Vice President of Supply Chain from Franciscan Alliance, a 12-hospital integrated delivery network spanning Indiana and Illinois, where he led enterprise supply chain strategy, sourcing operations, contracting, and physician alignment initiatives. During his tenure, Steve was recognized with Health Trust's 2023 Outstanding Member Award for collaborative leadership and measurable value delivery.

Before that, Steve spent nearly a decade as Chief Supply Chain Officer at Palomar Health — the largest public healthcare district in California — where he directed supply chain operations and led a large-scale capital procurement effort in support of a hospital construction project, resulting in significant savings reinvested into operations and patient care through strategic sourcing and standardization.

As UVA Health's systemwide Chief Supply Chain Officer, Steve will build and lead an enterprise supply chain organization that drives operational excellence, fiscal stewardship, and value-driven partnerships across all of UVA Health.
