| Dr. Paari Gopalakrishnan |
I’m pleased to share that Paari Gopalakrishnan, MD, MBA, will step into the role this September. I had the opportunity to meet him during the search process, and I left our conversation confident that he understands what leadership in healthcare should look like today.
Dr. Gopalakrishnan comes to GBMC after serving as President and Chief Operating Officer of Kent Hospital, a 359-bed community teaching hospital in Warwick, Rhode Island, within Care New England Health System. He’s also worked as a hospitalist and as a Chief Medical Officer, so he knows firsthand what it means to care for patients and to lead teams that do.
He also brings deep operational expertise. In his current role, he’s responsible for several systemwide functions that align closely with GBMC HealthCare’s integrated structure. He’s led innovative programs, taken on complex challenges, and brought teams together around shared goals. Colleagues describe him as a highly engaged and accessible leader.
Most importantly, I believe he’s someone who truly gets it. He listens and leads with purpose – I’m confident our staff and community are in good hands.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and I believe Dr. Gopalakrishnan is the right person to carry that work forward. I look forward to continuing alongside you until he arrives in September and ensuring a smooth and thoughtful transition.
