Healthcare Expertise and Personalized Guidance
FaithSearch Partners’ healthcare division traces its roots to 1990, when Ed Fry, the firm’s founder, joined the largest healthcare executive search services firm in the U.S.
Trained in the intricacies of a quality search process, he successfully managed more than 200 searches for hospital CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, CNOs, and virtually every senior-level position one could find in a healthcare provider setting.
With the launch of FaithSearch in early 2007, the firm is able to leverage its knowledge of large-firm quality processes and combine it with the personalized executive search services of a smaller firm within the unique environment of a faith-based mission. From small, independent hospitals to large academic medical centers to integrated healthcare systems, FaithSearch is blessed to serve the complete spectrum of faith-based healthcare entities, as well as other providers who value leadership with strong spiritual values.
