"One of the great benefits is … bringing the two together and being open to listen — to each other, to your teams, and to what the organization needs. That broader view has really helped us a lot." — Michelle Watson, SVP, CNO, LifePoint Health

Michelle Watson, LifePoint Health’s senior vice president and chief nursing officer, and Christopher Rehm, the health system’s senior vice president and chief medical officer, together oversee all clinical, quality, and patient safety initiatives through a singular clinical lens—a dyad leadership model.

For this week’s lead story, Watson and Rehm spoke with HealthLeaders about how the two-year-old dyad works, its challenges, and its benefits.
