Q&A: Resolute Baptist Hospital welcomes familiar face as new CEO Resolute Baptist Hospital in New Braunfels welcomed a new CEO in mid-January. Genifer Rucker, who previously served as the CEO of Christus Santa Rosa Hospital in New Braunfels, began her new role mid-January. In her previous experience with Christus Santa Rosa and now Resolute Baptist, Rucker said the New Braunfels community is focused on access to care close to home—something that she antici- pates will continue to be a growing sentiment as the city grows. Check out this Q&A to learn more. Why did you decide to pursue the CEO role with Resolute Baptist Hospital in New Braunfels? The New Braunfels community means a great deal to me personally. My mother’s family has
lived in New Braunfels for six generations, and I now live here with my own family. As a health care leader and resident of this community, I understand how important it is for families to have access to high quality care close to home. What type of care do you think New Braunfels is lacking? With many growing communities, health care systems should be continually evaluating oppor- tunities for expansion and modernization. I think recruitment of health care professionals is really, really important, and it’s going to be something that we’re all going to be focused on along with the growth. As the new CEO, what are some of your health care goals for the hospital system? My number one goal is ... I want Resolute Baptist Hospital to be known, not only for excellent care, but I want us to also be known for being deeply connected to the community that we serve.
