Most recently, Jonathan was tapped to lead a state-wide learning collaborative in Maryland, uniting hospitals to improve patient experience collectively. Previously, he served as the Chief Experience Officer for Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and as Vice President of Experience Transformation at Adventist HealthCare.
