99: Jeff Reecer - President, Texas Health Presbyterian

The Big Deal With Glen Farris

Jeff Reecer, FACHE, serves as president of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton, a position he assumed in January 2016 after leaving the facility in 2012 to become president of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen. Before that, he spent 11 years as vice president of operations at Texas Health Denton.

While at Texas Health Allen, Reecer worked to strategically reposition the hospital, adding crucial physicians, expanding the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and creating a women’s behavioral health unit. The result was growth for several key service lines and increased volumes. Among his most proud accomplishments, physician and employee engagement scores rose dramatically during his tenure, with both reaching the 99th percentile.

A native of Lockney, Texas, Reecer holds a bachelor of science and a master of business administration from Texas Tech University.

He lives in Denton with his wife, Dena, and enjoys spending time with his two adult children, Aaron and daughter Chloe. The Reecer family is actively involved in their church and community and enjoys traveling. An avid runner and cyclist, you can also find him leading Texas Health’s Be Healthy exercise teams.
