CareerPhysician, LLC, the national leader in academic child health executive search and leadership development, today announced that Peggy Troy, RN, MSN, former president and CEO Emeritus of Children’s Wisconsin has joined the Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC).

The Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC) is comprised of a diverse group of emeritus deans, department chairs, division chiefs and child health executives recognized for their leadership contributions in academic child health. The CHAC’s impact, diversity and currency is further bolstered by its Specialty Advisors who are active current national leaders in each of the subspecialties in pediatrics. Collectively, the 30+ members of the CHAC bring unmatched wisdom and experience to CareerPhysician’s executive search and leadership development endeavors.

“Peggy’s remarkable career has been defined by an unwavering commitment to advancing pediatric care, always doing what is best for kids and continually mentoring the next generation of child health leaders,” said Wesley Millican, CEO and Physician Talent Officer, CareerPhysician. “Her unique perspectives and deep operational experiences will meaningfully impact the council’s efforts to deliver robust talent strategies and solutions capable of addressing the workforce shortages and leadership needs of the next generation.”

Troy served as the first female president and CEO of Children’s Wisconsin from 2009 to 2024, leading the state’s only health system solely dedicated to the care of children. Under her leadership, Children’s Wisconsin was consistently ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, grew into a $2 billion system employing more than 6,000 individuals and partnered with more than 750 pediatric specialists from the Medical College of Wisconsin.

“I’m honored to join the Child Health Advisory Council and support its important work to strengthen the future of pediatric care,” said Troy. “I look forward to working closely with the Council and CareerPhysician to address workforce challenges in pediatrics. I’ve long believed that when we invest in strong leadership and a committed workforce, we can create a healthier future for every child.”
