Saint Mary's Hospital

After serving as Chief Operating Officer for three years, Bryan Johnson was named President of SCL Health St. Mary’s Medical Center on August 9th, 2019. He previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Intermountain Alta View Hospital in Sandy, Utah. Johnson holds to a strong operational principle of reducing healthcare costs through operational savings, appropriately designated services, and data-driven assessment. “The fact is, we are overprescribing services and underutilizing data,” said Johnson of his philosophy. In his four years with SCL Health St. Mary’s Johnson has produced tens-of-millions of dollars in savings without reducing quality or patient outcomes. “By using data to drive decisions, rather than decades-old thinking, we are producing tangible cost savings. That’s good for our patients,” he added. His work to strengthen and collaborative care and support rural, regional hospitals is another key initiative for Johnson. “St. Mary’s will advance our partnerships with healthcare leaders across our region, even as we help lead the way to improve access and quality for all western Colorado communities,” he concludes. Johnson and his wife, Trish, are the parents of six active children. They enjoy sports and the abundant outdoor lifestyle of their home in the Grand Valley.
