Burton came to The Johns Hopkins Health System from Deloitte Consulting, where he benefited from significant experience transforming the supply chain departments of large, well-regarded academic medical centers, regional and multi-state health systems, and community hospitals. These transformations provided deep expertise in large scale expense reduction measures, post-merger integrations, and process and operational improvements.

In his role at The Johns Hopkins Health System he is leading a series of changes that restructure, rebuild, and realign the Supply Chain. Clinical integration is at the core of this change, promoting a vision for supply chain that supports and advances the institution’s mission to deliver outstanding care.
