On June 1, Trinity Health of Minot welcomed new CEO John Kutch. Since his start date, Kutch has continued to work on developing and implementing plans for Trinity’s future. “I’ve been in executive leadership since I was 27 years old. My first week here at Trinity Health, one of the senior leaders asked me how I see my role at Trinity. I’ve always seen my role in any organization, despite the job title, as being responsible to reinvent the organization,” Kutch said. “Each day, I think about what I am going to do to reinvent Trinity Health,” he added. Kutch explained that he has felt a calling toward health care leadership from a young age. As a senior in high school in Bemidji, Minn., he had been considering careers in law or aviation but his interests changed toward health care. “What gets me excited about health care is change. There is change going on every hour of every day, with changes in policies and changes in patients.
