Opening a new hospital leads to new opportunities
As a project manager, Gordils-Molina was involved in every aspect of hospital operations. He supported countless projects at LVH–17th Street, and when conversations swirled about opening the health network’s first new hospital in nearly 50 years, one leader saw Gordils-Molina as the perfect choice to lead the project.
“It’s an opportunity I will never forget,” says Gordils-Molina. “That was the dream – for everybody and especially for me – it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of every step of opening a new hospital.”
When LVH–Hecktown Oaks opened in 2021, Gordils-Molina’s contributions to the project’s success did not go unnoticed.
“That changed everything in my career and opened a lot of doors,” he says. “I helped open LVH–Carbon and LVH–Dickson City, and it was an honor to be part of the team bringing LVHN care to new communities.”
But when his mentor approached him and challenged him to ask, “What’s next?” Gordils-Molina was excited by the possibility of building a new program.
By that time, Gordils-Molina was campus operations manager at LVH–Hecktown Oaks, so he was involved in day-to-day projects and operations for the entire campus. It was a good opportunity to see projects through from start to finish. When a new position opened for someone to lead a new patient experience team, he decided to make a change.
“It was a leap of faith because I had never thought about the opportunity to build something new,” says Gordils-Molina. “It felt special because leadership was trusting me with this new responsibility. The support I have received from my leaders is one of the most rewarding parts of my career at LVHN. There were always people around me looking out for me. I will always treasure and be eternally grateful for that mentorship.”
