Woods is president and CEO of Atrium Health (formerly known as
Carolinas HealthCare System), one of the nation’s most
comprehensive, highly integrated and innovative health care
systems. Atrium operates 44 hospitals and more than 900 care
locations, ranging from physician offices and behavioral health
centers to nursing homes. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based
company has annual revenue of nearly $10 billion and is responsible
for more than 11.5 million patient interactions each year.
Woods has more than 25 years of health care leadership
experience, having overseen nonprofit and for-profit hospitals,
academic and community-based delivery systems, and rural and urban
facilities. Prior to joining Atrium in 2016, he was president and
chief operating officer of Christus Health, an international
not-for-profit health system based in Texas.
Woods ranked No. 25 on Modern Healthcare’s list of the 100 Most
Influential People in Healthcare for 2018. He also has appeared on
the publication’s list of the Top 25 Minority Executives in
Healthcare for five consecutive years.
“At the heart of our Best Buy 2020 strategy is our commitment to
address key human needs, including health,” Best Buy Chairman and
CEO Hubert Joly said. “Gene is a highly respected leader in the
complex and dynamic field of health care, and his insights will be
invaluable as we continue to grow and innovate in that space.”
“Health care is about serving others, and increasingly, this
means providing better and more convenient access to high-quality
care — even at home,” Woods said. “I believe Best Buy has a
phenomenal strategy in this space, and I’m honored to join the
board during this exciting phase of the company’s transformational
journey.”
Woods, 54, holds three degrees from Pennsylvania State
University: a bachelor’s degree in health planning and
administration, a master’s degree in business administration and a
