San Juan Regional Health

San Juan Regional Medical Center welcomes a new era with new president and chief executive officer, Jeff A. Bourgeois, taking the helm at the hospital today. He replaces Rick Wallace who left the medical center in February.

Jeff has been in the healthcare field since 1990. He comes to Farmington from San Antonio, Texas, where he led CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital, Westover Hills as its president/administrator for the past 9 years. During that time he oversaw completion of construction and the start-up of operations of the Westover Hills facility from the ground up.

“Jeff brings a wealth of experience in the growing and ever-changing world of healthcare,” said Janel Ryan, the hospital’s board chair. “We know that his knowledge and leadership will serve San Juan Regional Medical Center and the community well.”

Jeff received his M.S. in Health Care Administration from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. He worked for Hill Country Memorial Health System in Fredericksburg, Texas from 1991 to 2007. He was Chief Operating Officer until 1998 and then was promoted to Chief Executive Officer. He is looking forward to helping take San Juan Regional Medical Center to the next level. Jeff plans on being very visible much of his first 100 days on the job, meeting with community leaders and key stakeholders.
“I look forward to working together with the community,” Bourgeois said. “I want to be sure that San Juan Regional Medical Center is doing all that it can for the betterment of our patients and our community.”
