Jeff Thompson, M.D., former CEO of Gundersen Health System, will be the visiting scholar for Viterbo’s D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership. 

“Sometimes we have these resources right in our own community that are amazing,” said Rick Kyte, director of the Reinhart Institute.

“One of the things that makes him unique for us is he’s not coming out of an academic background. He’s coming from professional practice,” Kyte said. “I think this will be very beneficial to our students. That’s the main thing we’re looking for in visiting scholars, people who can help students visualize what they will encounter in their careers. That’s really the key.”
