When Dr. Alex Vaccaro, Ph.D., MBA, was elected president of the Rothman Institute and chairman of orthopedics at Thomas Jefferson University’s Sidney Kimmel Medical College in August 2014, he joined a journey started by Richard H. Rothman, M.D., Ph.D., to lead and grow an organization known for innovation and excellence. His agenda, marked with bold growth goals and a comprehensive telemedicine program, is crafted to take the nearly $400 million practice to even greater heights. An internationally renowned surgeon specializing in complex spine surgery, Vaccaro remains one of the institute’s best and busiest surgeons, splitting his days, which often start before 5 a.m., between surgery and a grueling administrative schedule. When he’s not in the surgical suite, the boardroom or the classroom, he’s improving the lives of those in need in the Delaware Valley through his work at the Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia. For these impressive achievements and more, SmartCEO honors him as our 2015 Philadelphia CEO of the Year.
