Andy Guz, 38

When you’re the CEO of a hospital, there’s no average day.

The hospital never closes, for one, and the work is ongoing. But on a more typical day, Andy Guz, named CEO of Lakewood Ranch Medical Center in 2016, says he spends time in meetings and going on rounds through the hospital along with attending board meetings and community events. “I think what I like most about it is it’s never the same,” Guz says. “It’s hard to get into a rut because there are always things that are changing.”

With his rounds, Guz takes a systematic approach. “I make sure at least once I week I’m in nearly every department of the hospital,” he says. He also takes a baked goods approach by bringing trays of cookies that were homemade at the hospital along with him. “The most popular are M&Ms, chocolate chip and macadamia nut,” Guz says. “Those are the three most requested. I usually have a variety.”
