New chief of Integris Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City started his health care at the bedside
If Tim Johnsen, new president of Integris Baptist Medical Center, needs a quick recharge in his busy work day, he simply runs up a few floors and sits at a patient's bedside.
Many an administrative peer might find such communication awkward, but it comes naturally to Johnsen, 50, who began his 25-year health career as a critical care nurse.
Johnsen joined Integris Jan. 2 from Mercy Hospital and Clinics Hot Springs, where he'd worked since 2006, and included a stint as president and chief executive.
