Two New Hospital Administrators

Mr. Maki is assuming responsibilities formerly held by Nancy Lee, including radiology, cardiac services, operating rooms, Health Information and Management Services (HIMS), transplant services, and neuroscience services. Prior to Stanford, Maki was chief of network operations (CNO) for the Bon Secours Richmond Health System in Richmond, Virginia, where he also served as chief administrative officer and as vice president-resource management. As CNO, he was responsible for women's and children's services, cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical services; construction program management; HealthPartners Laboratory; materiel management; palliative care/hospice; pharmacy; public relations/marketing/planning; and risk management.

Maki has provided interim healthcare leadership throughout the United States. He served as interim chief operating officer of Shands Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida, a 760-bed academic medical center that serves as the urban campus for the University of Florida College of Medicine. Additionally, he was the interim president of St. Francis Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Prior to his interim roles, Maki was senior vice president of Catholic Healthcare Partners, Cincinnati, and regional president and CEO of Mercy Health System-Western Ohio, Springfield. He also has had extensive executive and operations experience as the CEO and COO of other organizations in the Midwest and Southwest. Maki earned a BA, cum laude, in business administration and a Master of Hospital Administration from the University of Minnesota. He is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE) and is immediate past president of the Central Virginia Healthcare Executives Group. One of his personal goals is to have his photo taken in front of every state capitol. So far, he has 26 photos including Sacramento--only 24 to go!

After thirty-five years of experience in positions such as information technology and medical imaging, Paul Kurily brings an extensive and varied background in healthcare to his position as administrative director of Stanford imaging services. Prior to coming to Stanford University Medical Center, he was employed by William Beaumont Hospital, a 1,000-bed tertiary care facility and level-one trauma center in Royal Oak, Michigan.

At Beaumont, Kurily served in a variety of different roles, including four years as the director of radiology. The Beaumont Radiology Department is completely digital with full PACS integration and performs over 450,000 procedures annually. His last position at Beaumont was as the director of radiology business development. As director, Kurily led several projects to develop, design, construct, and operate new sites of imaging services to support Beaumont's expansion of its ambulatory care operations.

Kurily holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master of Business Administration from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. When he is not working, he enjoys traveling, reading about history, and golfing--which has been a challenge in Michigan because the season is so short. Kurily also became an expert dog handler somewhat by accident when the Scottish terrier he bought as a pet became an American Kennel Club Champion.

We are grateful for the wealth of experience Jerry and Paul bring to their positions, and we look forward to working with them.
