June 14, Indy Rotary Welcomes Jonathan Nalli, Chief Executive Officer of St.Vincent

After two years as CEO of Indiana’s second largest health care system – and the state’s seventh largest employer – Jonathan Nalli has fully immersed himself into what he calls “a deeper purpose” to drive patient-centered excellence across the statewide ministry of St.Vincent. Nalli faces an industry in transition, but he welcomes the political, economic and social change opportunities that come with his role as CEO.

As part of his larger vision, he also recognizes that St.Vincent has an important role to play in addressing the unfortunate reality that Hoosiers continue to lag behind other states when it comes to overall health and wellness – with Indiana’s population ranking 41st in the nation due to high rates of obesity, smoking, diabetes and physical inactivity.

Prior to taking over as CEO of St.Vincent Health in 2014, Jonathan was CEO of the Porter Health System in Valparaiso where he led the strategic and operational direction of two hospitals, six outpatient centers and an array of physician practices.

Prior to Porter Health, he was chief operating officer of Chestnut Hill Health System in Philadelphia for two years. In addition, he served as chief operating officer of Pottstown memorial medical center in Pottstown, pa.

Jonathan earned his master’s degree in business administration from Drexel University in Philadelphia, and his bachelor’s degree in health sciences in health administration from the University of Kentucky.
