Tower Selects Jefferson Health Heart Surgery Chair for Leadership Role

The chair of cardiothoracic surgery at Jefferson Health, Rohinton Morris, is leaving for a position at Tower Health, citing frustration with Jefferson's rapid growth and feeling that his influence as a leader has diminished. Despite the smaller size and financial challenges of Tower Health, Morris sees the move as an opportunity to have a greater impact on cardiac care and help aging patients in Philadelphia's suburbs manage chronic heart problems. He aims to focus on expanding basic cardiac care and increasing accessibility to services, prioritizing the needs of the community over highly specialized and lucrative procedures.
