“Great institutions don’t just state their values. They put them into action.
Throughout her career in hospital operations, Maria Papola Megdal has valued mission-driven organizations. That’s why the values of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital stood out.
As executive vice president and chief administrative officer, Megdal oversees many of the teams and operations that help power the institution’s research, treatment and global mission. But a commitment to stewardship first drew her to St. Jude when she joined in 2024.
‘The first time I read the St. Jude values, I felt like someone was talking to me,’ Megdal said.
‘Seeing that stewardship was written into the values meant a lot to me.’
After leading operations in complex academic health care and research organizations, Megdal recognized the importance of thoughtful resource management. At St. Jude, she found an institution where stewardship is a shared responsibility that helps ensure every contribution advances the mission of finding cures and saving children.
For Megdal, seeing the institution’s values reflected in everyday decisions across teams reinforces what makes St. Jude unique: a culture where people are united by purpose and committed to honoring the trust of donors, patients and families.”
