Drawn to Minnesota by the patients who Gillette Children’s serves, Thomas Harris, Jr. is our Executive Vice President of Operations. Harris spent years working as an executive with large health care organizations in Los Angeles and New Orleans before moving to the Twin Cities.
“When I explored Gillette as a potential place to work, it really pulled at my heartstrings,” says Harris. “I’ve been in health care for 22 years and I know that kids with conditions seen at Gillette are often marginalized. I want to be part of a place that really focuses on giving kids and families hope and helping them ‘create their own story.’ I see what we do as a ministry and a way of giving back.”
