Leading with Care: Innovation, Health, and the People-Centric Future

OneZone Chamber Studio Season 1 Episode 8

OneZone Chamber President Jack Russell and Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness sit down with Bryan Mills, outgoing CEO of Community Health Network, to explore the intersection of leadership, healthcare innovation, and what it means to build people-centric communities. From growing a health system from 1,000 to 18,000 employees to forging deep connections across neighborhoods, Bryan shares powerful insights on organizational growth, mission-driven leadership, and how healthcare providers can become embedded in the everyday fabric of the cities they serve.

The conversation spans everything from preventative care, mental health, and school partnerships to rising healthcare costs, public-private collaboration, and how employers can actually do something about skyrocketing benefits. With real-world examples of how Fishers and Community Health worked together to reduce healthcare costs, improve outcomes, and build trust, this episode is a must-listen for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone invested in building healthier, more resilient communities.

As Bryan reflects on his legacy and next chapter, the conversation expands to Indiana’s health culture, the importance of regional vision, and the big choices cities face in becoming more people-first. It’s a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and deeply human discussion about what it takes to lead well—and leave a legacy that matters.
