John Whitman, WG'78

35 years ago, I served as the Administrator of a skilled nursing facility operated by Jeanes Hospital in Philadelphia. Since that time, I started and ran a successful national consulting company for almost 20 years and for the past 15 years, served as the executive director of a non-profit I started dedicated to improving care for our nation’s seniors and saving money for our healthcare system. For the past 31 years I have also served as an adjunct instructor in the Wharton MBA Health Care Management Program and plan to continue teaching for many years to come! 

Several months ago, I returned to my roots by accepting the CEO position at Chandler Hall Health Services, a senior living community in Bucks County, PA. Like many senior living organizations, Chandler Hall suffered seriously from COVID, and my job is to turn the place around. I am working 14 hours a day … and loving it! The best part, and what I have missed the most over the years, is the regular interactions and involvement with residents!

I have built a great team, and we are on our way to not only restore this organization to operational and financial stability, but to also make it the best facility in Bucks County! I am loving every minute of it! I would love to host and/or talk to anyone interested in learning more about senior care services in general and/or Chandler Hall specifically.
