Daniel Listi was appointed chief executive officer of Delray Medical Center in June.
Listi came from Shelby Baptist Medical Center in Alabaster, Alabama, where he served as CEO for the past four years. Both Delray and Shelby are Tenet Healthcare hospitals.
Prior to that, he was the chief operating officer of Valley Baptist Medical Center, Harlingen, Texas, and the market chief operating officer of the El Paso/RGV hospitals, overseeing six Tenet Healthcare hospitals.
Listi holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Texas A&M University and a master’s degree in health care administration from Texas A&M’s public health school. He is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. 

Following the completion of its 250th TCAR procedure, Delray Medical Center honored its patients and clinicians for achieving this milestone at a reunion event, with past patients — including the first and the 250th — who attended and shared their experiences. 
For some background: In June 2018, Delray Medical Center began using TransCarotid Artery Revascularization, for high-surgical-risk patients who need carotid artery treatment. The procedure was performed by Joseph J. Ricotta MD, MS, FACS, now Tenet’s regional medical director for vascular surgery and endovascular therapy.
With TCAR, blood flow is temporarily reversed so that any small bits of plaque that may break off are diverted from the brain, preventing a stroke from happening. A stent is then placed inside the artery to stabilize the plaque, minimizing the risk of a future stroke. For more information, visit www.delraymedicalctr.com/services/cardiovascular/tcar.
