Holy Cross Health Hosts Welcome Reception for New President and CEO Pierre Monice

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (June 10, 2025) – Holy Cross Health recently welcomed its new President and CEO Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, with a special reception held at Grateful Palate Events in Fort Lauderdale. 

The evening brought together Holy Cross Health leadership, colleagues, supporters and members of the Broward community to celebrate Monice’s arrival and hear his inspiring vision for the future of the healthcare system. The program included remarks from Rudy Molinet, RN, MPH, FACHE, Chair of the Holy Cross Health Board of Directors and Robert Casalou, President and CEO of Trinity Health Michigan and Southeast Region, who formally introduced Monice and expressed confidence in his leadership.

“Coming home to serve the very community that shaped me is the honor of a lifetime,” said Monice, who was born and raised in South Florida and is from a Haitian immigrant family. “Just as I am committed to excellence, health equity and community engagement, so is the entire team at Holy Cross Health. I look forward to embarking on this new chapter for Holy Cross with our generous donors, supporters, community leaders, physicians, nurses and staff and continuing to bring the highest quality of compassionate care to our patients.”

Prior to joining Holy Cross, Monice was president of Loyola Medicine’s MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, Illinois, which like Holy Cross, is a Trinity hospital.

At Holy Cross Health, Monice will focus on ambulatory growth strategy, enhancing patient satisfaction and fostering a strong culture of colleague engagement. 

“Pierre is a passionate, experienced leader with the vision to take Holy Cross Health to new heights,” said Casalou, who served as interim CEO at Holy Cross Health. “I thank everyone who has supported Holy Cross Health through this period of transition in leadership.” 

Monice has held key leadership roles in healthcare, including as Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer for Trinity Health’s Midwest Service Area and Chief Operating Officer at AdventHealth’s Altamonte Campus in Orlando. Throughout his career, he has successfully led operational improvements, expanded service lines, strengthened physician partnerships and enhanced workforce stability. 

“Pierre’s values and mission-driven approach to inclusion, integrity and compassion very much align with that of Holy Cross Health,” said Molinet. “As a South Florida native, he has a deep understanding of our local communities.” 

Monice earned a Master of Business Administration from Webster University and a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Southern Adventist University. His background in ministry as a senior pastor shaped his approach to healthcare leadership by forming a deep passion for service and community engagement. He is board-certified in healthcare management as a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE), a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and holds a Six Sigma Black Belt certification. Earlier this year, Monice was the recipient of the 2025 Robert S. Hudgens Memorial Award for Young Healthcare Executive of the Year by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE).

“I am also truly excited to get to know our generous donors and support their philanthropic goals as they continue to make a meaningful impact at Holy Cross,” Monice said. “Through philanthropy, we’re building excellence together.”
