CEO/Executive Director Experience

Laura Ramos assumed the role of Chief Executive on July 5, 2021. With more than 35 years of health care experience, which began as a bedside nurse at Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, Laura's record of innovation, excellence and accomplishment is impressive. As Chief Nursing Officer, her advocacy of shared governance, caregiver empowerment and continuous learning helped create one of the most engaged workforces within Providence. As a result, Providence St. Jude achieved Magnet® accreditation in 2016 and recertification in 2019. Under Laura's tenure, Providence St. Jude was among the first in the nation to take an interprofessional approach to Magnet® certification. Now a standard with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Laura realized early on that to be successful in this changing and challenging health care environment, it would take all disciplines aligned and focused to be successful. Laura first joined Providence St. Jude in 2009 as manager of the critical care and stepdown units. Later she became director of cardiology, neurology and emergency services, and was named vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer in 2014. In 2020, Laura was promoted to chief operating officer where her focus on quality, affordability and the patient experience, as well as her partnership and collaboration with providers, helped earn the ministry national recognition for its stroke, orthopedics, cardiac care, neuroscience and digestive health programs, to name a few.
