Fleischer will join Texas Children’s as senior vice president of Revenue Cycle

August 1, 2017

Richelle Fleischer will be joining Texas Children’s as our new Senior Vice President of Revenue Cycle effective August 14, 2017.

Richelle is a Certified Public Accountant, with a Master’s of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and is a Virginia native. She started her career in public accounting and healthcare consulting. She has held executive leadership roles in both finance and revenue cycle with several multi-billion dollar health systems including the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and, most recently, Novant Health in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We are thrilled to have Richelle on our team,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Weldon Gage. “She brings a deep level of knowledge and expertise in the revenue cycle and has strong leadership experience with large, multi-hospital systems. She will be a tremendous asset for Texas Children’s as we continue to grow, and as the revenue cycle functions become more complex and demanding.”

The hospital is very fortunate that last October, Bill Hilton agreed to come back to Texas Children’s to serve as Senior Vice President of Revenue Cycle on an interim basis. Since then, the Revenue Cycle team has had some outstanding successes. Bill brought his wealth of experience and ensured the team had a steady, seasoned leader during an important period of transition. With Richelle joining the Revenue Cycle in a few short weeks, Texas Children’s wishes Bill and his family all the best as he returns to his retirement, and is grateful for his service to Texas Children’s and the families we care for.

Texas Children’s thanks Bill for his invaluable service, and also congratulates Richelle on her new leadership role at Texas Children’s.
