A Q&A With Hank Hernandez, CEO, Las Palmas Medical Center

For almost two decades, Hank Hernandez, 60, has been the chief executive officer of Las Palmas Medical Center.

While many hospital CEOs make their way to the executive suite via an MBA or master’s in hospital administration, Hernandez started his career in health care as an Army staff nurse.

The first in his family to attend college, he earned degrees in nursing, health services management and hospital administration. In 2010, Modern Healthcare magazine named Hernandez a Top 25 Minority Healthcare Executive.

Hank sat down with El Paso Inc. and talked about the ACA rollout, growing up – not out, and the rise of the machines.
