the giving effect 2025 7 Michael Bundy: Strengthening care As president of the Greensboro market, Michael Bundy approaches leadership as a way to remove obstacles for clinicians and build systems that sustain excellence over time. He looks for the quiet pressure points that determine whether a day in the hospital runs smoothly — the supplies on hand, the time clinicians spend with patients and the routines that safeguard care. “Quality and safety yield great finances,” he says, describing how strong outcomes allow health systems to reinvest in technology, access and people. Cone Health’s mix of advanced medicine and community roots drew him to our health system. “Cone Health has a great marriage of community care and cutting-edge medicine all in the same space,” he says. Michael links philanthropy to public trust. “When you arrive somewhere, and they have a very strong philanthropic arm, you can tell that there is a strong connection to the community,” he says. “Knowing that the community is behind you helps attract talent as well.” He sees that same connection extending beyond hospital walls to reach people earlier in their health journeys. “Our ability to impact lives before that person finds themselves in an ER or a hospital — that’s exciting.” MICHAEL BUNDY, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT OF THE GREENSBORO MARKET Came from Prisma Health’s Midlands Market, where he served as CEO overseeing seven hospitals and 10,000 team members across South Carolina.

His days stretch across emergency departments, outpatient clinics and conversations with community partners, all with the same aim: to make care easier to reach and simpler to navigate. Cone Health’s commitment to value-based care drew him to the role. “I saw what Cone Health was doing — and not just dipping a toe in — but really saying, ‘We’re going to be all in.’ I thought, this could be the most interesting leadership opportunity of my career. Here is an organization that is putting a flag in the ground to say, ‘We want to change how health care is delivered.’” For Chad, that ambition depends, in part, on community partnership and philanthropy moving things forward. “Philanthropy is that point of inflection that helps take something to the next level,” he says. He returns often to access. “Putting the patient at the center, offering care at the right place, right time, right cost,” he says. “If we can get them better access, then that’s less emergency room utilization and a lower cost to them and to the health care system in general.” CHAD BOORE, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH AND EAST MARKET Arrived from MercyOne North Iowa and OSF HealthCare, where he led regional operations across nonprofit and academic health systems.
