research for the benefit of the patients, families and communities Riley
Hospital serves."

As president and CEO, Mr. Fink will be responsible for implementing Riley
Hospital`s five-point strategic plan; developing clinical programs; establishing
and monitoring managerial performance benchmarks; cultivating a more robust
statewide network of pediatric services; and overseeing completion of the Simon
Family Tower - a 675,000 square-foot, 10-story inpatient tower that will
increase access to Riley Hospital`s expert care, highlighting its role as the
state`s preeminent pediatric care provider.

in various executive capacities at two health care systems in Texas - Cook
Children`s Health Care System and Methodist Hospitals of Dallas.
