About The Instructor
Tommy Inzina led one of nation's top large health care systems before retiring at the end of 2022. As President and CEO of BayCare Health System for six years, Inzina led the not-for-profit provider to repeated recognition as among the top 20 percent of all large health care systems for clinical outcomes, patient experience, operational efficiency, financial health and contributions to the community, by Fortune/Merative™, even as BayCare continued to grow to build a 16th hospital and greatly expand its commitment to ambulatory and behavioral health services. In 2022, BayCare's total revenue was $5.1 billion and returned $492 million in community benefit and had more than 29,400 team members.As a leader, Inzina also worked to realize BayCare's mission to improve the community's health outside its walls. He worked to convene leaders, including competitors, to help drive community conversations around health needs, particularly behavioral health, leading to the establishment of the public-private collaborative, Tampa Bay Thrives. That same public sense of duty proved pivotal in the early days of COVID-19, when Inzina helped forge collaboration across health care sectors to support West Central Florida's response.
Inzina was a 10-year-veteran of Ernst & Young when he first joined St. Joseph's Hospital's financial team. Soon after, he helped forge the agreement among a small group of not-for-profit hospital systems to establish BayCare in 1997 to ensure not-for-profit health care remained strong for Tampa Bay. Over three decades, Inzina would serve in several leadership roles including chief financial officer, chief administrative officer and chief operating officer. He is a graduate of Auburn University (Bachelor of Science in Accounting) and the University of Tampa (Master of Business Administration). Inzina's other leadership roles have included industry and community organizations, such as the Tampa Bay Partnership, the Florida Hospital Association, the Heart Ball Cabinet for the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society's CEO Against Cancer.
