Choose the right perspective
Match the executive's level to your question: corporate chief officers suit enterprise-wide finance or clinical-strategy questions, while division presidents and service-line leaders know how programs run across a region or specialty. Check the start date of each person's current title, because someone new to a role may speak more usefully about an earlier position.
