Rodney David

Rodney David started in HR as a Financial and Special Projects coordinator in Benefits right after the fellowship. He spent 3 years there and got to work on some great projects including plan design changes which were presented to the Benefits Committee. After that he decided to move into operations and found an awesome opportunity in the Department of Nursing as a Nursing Business Manager in the NICU. There, Rodney had the opportunity to learn inpatient operations which is pretty rare for a non-clinical leader. He spent 5.5 years running the business operations for all 3 NICU units at main campus which included operational responsibility as well as project work. He also did the budget for all 3 units each year. After that Rodney moved on to the Centers to learn outpatient operations and joined as a Practice Leader over Pediatrics at the Greenspoint location and did that for 2 years before being promoted to Assistant Director. He has been in this role for 3 years now and have provided leadership over every aspect of the Centers. It has been wonderful serving this patient population.

Rachel Brock

Rachel Brock completed her administrative fellowship in 2017 and moved from the fellowship into a Manager of Ambulatory Operations position that oversaw the Department of Surgery Welcome Desks and our Kirby outpatient surgical clinic. She had a feeling she wanted to be in clinical operations, but after that position, was sold and knew she wanted to continue growing in clinical and business operations. A year later Rachel had the opportunity to take on the Practice Administrator role over Adolescent Medicine, Dermatology and Sports Medicine. It was an amazing position to partner with different section chiefs, grow in clinical and business operations, get experience with multiple different specialties, and manage and lead great teams. She was in that position for three years and knew she wanted to keep growing and evolving in clinical and business operations. Rachel had the opportunity to become the Practice Administrator over Pediatric Surgery in August of 2021 and have had the opportunity to learn inpatient operations, research, surgery, and so much more. What she loves about operations is that you get to wear so many different hats and there is never a dull moment – she has been at TCH for 6 years and it’s been an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to work here and grow as a leader!
