Summary
Chet Bhasin is a healthcare executive with 11+ years of experience leading strategy, operations, and workforce planning across large integrated health systems and not-for-profit hospitals. As Executive Director of the Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce and former Chief Strategy/Operating Officer roles at Shepherd Center, he has driven market growth, major grant development, and operational efficiencies that produced multimillion-dollar savings. He combines a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to clinical partnership and physician relations with hands-on financial and regulatory acumen, repeatedly translating strategy into measurable margin and access gains. Known for building cross-functional teams and physician-aligned programs, he has launched new inpatient units and referral initiatives that materially increased contribution margins and referrals. Less obvious: he pairs executive leadership in healthcare with a personal interest in functional programming and systems thinking, occasionally coding in Rust, Scala, Go, and Haskell, which informs his analytical approach to complex operational problems. Based in Atlanta, he is skilled at navigating public-private partnerships to expand workforce and clinical capacity for community needs.
