Prior to taking the hospital's reins, Dr. Slavin served as chairman and CEO of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, a group of more than 1,700 physicians.
Under the leadership of Dr. Slavin, Massachusetts General has made great strides. In 2012, U.S. News & World Report ranked Massachusetts General as the best hospital in the nation. The hospital is also Magnet-recognized for excellence in nursing and has been designated as a Top Hospital by The Leapfrog Group. Dr. Slavin credits his staff for the hospital's success. "We are very fortunate to have 23,000 very talented and dedicated employees led by a great group of chiefs and vice presidents," he told Becker's Hospital Review last year. "Those are the people who deserve all the credit."
