Dakota Redd, R.N., BSN
Chief Nursing OfficerCurrently is the Chief Nursing Officer for Hendry Regional Medical Center in Clewiston Florida and has been in his present role at the hospital since March of 2021.
In 2023 he was recognized by the Florida Rural Health Association, as a “Healthcare Hero” for his leadership and courage in transforming his hospital’s culture.
His healthcare journey started more than forty years ago with eighteen years of critical care nursing, focusing on Cardiovascular Nursing initially.
He also has extensive Nursing Leadership experience that began in Nursing Supervision eventually leading to multiple opportunities as a Department Director ranging from Cardiac Care to the Emergency Department. In 2004-2006 he was the Interim CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) for a 167-bed community-based hospital. In 2010 he moved into the post-acute care setting as Chief Nurse Executive of two LTACH hospitals in the St. Louis area. In 2012 he was named the Chief Nursing Officer for a 100 bed Rehabilitation hospital (that was a joint venture with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri).
Currently his primary focus has been on Hospital Culture-and helping people to THRIVE at work! Using the research from Shawn Achor (The Happiness Advantage)-and the science of positive psychology, along with Dr. Brene Browns work on vulnerability in the workplace (to establish TRUST), as well as business leaders, experts and authors Simon Sinek, and Jim Collins-just to name a few.
Ultimately my hope is to make a difference in combating incivility, and bullying, in the workplace. To reduce burnout (potentially preventing it from occurring), and to create sustainable work cultures that support Trust, Honest-authentic communication, Respect, Inclusion-Innovation, Expectations of Excellence.
