Under Daskalakis’ leadership, West Chester Hospital experienced patient volume growth across the emergency department and inpatient/outpatient service areas and received its fifth consecutive Outstanding Patient Experience Award from Healthgrades.
“Tom is an inspiring and dedicated leader here at UC Health and is well respected in the northern counties we serve,” UC Health Chief Operating Officer Pete Gilbert said in a release. “We’re looking forward to continued growth and community partnership for West Chester Hospital under his leadership.”

In addition, he initiated an expansion of the organization’s cardiac catheterization lab, established a hospital-wide monitoring system that provided real time evaluation of labor productivity and lead numerous other initiatives that resulted in new sources of revenue and patient volumes.
Daskalakis’ extensive experience also includes service as network vice president, clinical support services and vice president, clinical services for the Kettering Medical Center Network. In those roles, Daskalakis developed the organization’s strategic focus, long-range planning, financial management and collaboration of the integrated healthcare system, which was comprised of four acute care hospitals.
