Vogl joins BayCare from Jefferson Health in Philadelphia, where she most recently served as senior vice president of operations since 2023.

Vogl will work closely with the CEO Cabinet and clinical leaders to drive the strategic, financial and administrative priorities for BayCare’s service lines. She will focus on identifying best practices and using data-driven insights to improve care quality and reduce variation in clinical services. She will also lead BayCare’s efforts in developing Clinical Institutes and Comprehensive Care Centers, expanding the health system’s reach and impact across acute, post-acute and ambulatory care settings.  

“I’m excited to be part of BayCare’s mission to transform health care through quality, innovation and teamwork,” said Vogl. “I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of BayCare’s service lines and supporting our team in delivering the highest standards of care to our patients and the communities we serve.”
