Becker’s Hospital Review has recognized Riverside Healthcare President and CEO Phil Kambic, along with Riverside Medical Center, in its 2024 lists of 160 Community Hospital CEOs to Know and 100 Great Community Hospitals.
“I sincerely appreciate this recognition of our hard work and commitment to our community from Becker’s,” said Kambic. “I am proud of our continuous efforts to meet our community’s needs, exceed their expectations, and provide remarkable care along their healthcare journey.”
Kambic joined Riverside Healthcare in 1985 and served as senior vice president and COO before being appointed president and CEO in 2006. Under his leadership, Riverside Medical Center has earned multiple IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospital Awards and IBM Watson Health Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospital Awards.
Riverside Medical Center is a nationally recognized level II trauma hospital providing essential healthcare services including advanced heart care, cancer care, neurosurgery, and orthopedics programs. The center is noted for delivering necessary care to community members who might otherwise travel long distances for treatment in Chicago. It is also the only hospital in the area to receive Magnet designation for nursing excellence.
Becker’s emphasized the role of community hospital CEOs in growing service lines such as primary care, specialized services, rehabilitation, public health, and more. These hospitals were acknowledged for offering patients outside metropolitan areas convenient, affordable, high-quality care while enhancing their communities' overall health.
