PopeJames Powell spends his days at Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center supporting the chief executive officer and working closely with other members of the senior leadership team. He monitors and analyzes operational metrics and reports on the ongoing facility performance. He oversees a number of the medical centers programs, including bariatrics, robotic center of excellence, environmental services, transport, dietary services, and business development. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help others, from our leaders to our frontline workers to our patients, he said.
