Excellence in Governance - 2023

Dingle, managing partner of private equity fund HealthEdge Investment Partners, has served on the hospital’s board since 2007 and as chair since 2020. In collaboration with President and CEO John Couris, whom he helped recruit to the organization in 2017, and the rest of the executive team, Dingle has helped advance initiatives for innovation, expansion and financial viability at Tampa General, an academic medical center and the region’s largest safety-net hospital. Efforts include establishing a $500 million master facility plan—the largest in Tampa General’s history—which serves as a blueprint for continued capital and service growth. In fiscal 2022, Tampa General also provided net community benefits worth about $240 million through healthcare services for uninsured and underinsured people, educational programs and financial support to Tampa Bay area community organizations.
