Leadership

As stewards of Christ’s call to serve, Our Lady of Lourdes puts great emphasis on leadership at the local level – while also upholding the tradition of our Franciscan healing mission. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, William F. “Bud” Barrow, provides strong strategic and operational leadership to our organization. In addition, our Board of Directors provides high level oversight, while our Medical Executive Committee plays an integral role in overseeing medical services and quality of care. Combining organizational excellence with medical expertise, we are committed to doing what is right and best at all times for the patients and families we serve.
