Led Out of the Wilderness

Obstetrics is a service that Paul Kronenberg, MD, feels his hospital can hang its hat on. Though not as profitable as other more glamorous services, the CEO of Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, NY, felt that obstetrics was where he could build a base for the formerly struggling hospital among women, who make most of the decisions for their families regarding healthcare. Kronenberg, a longtime medical staff leader at Crouse, came aboard as CEO after two failed turnarounds. In this podcast, Kronenberg talks about how, with the help of a dedicated group of leaders, a focus on obstetrics helped led Crouse out of the wilderness.
