In his role as CFO, Hawig will oversee all finance-related functions of the health system, including financial management, planning, accounting, revenue cycle, supply chain, risk management, market network services, treasury services, and investments.

Prior to his role at Froedtert ThedaCare Health, Hawig held senior leadership positions at Shands HealthCare at The University of Florida, Duke University Health System, and accounting firms Deloitte & Touche LLP and Arthur Anderson LLP. Hawig earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and a master’s degree in business administration from Duke University.

“Scott’s proven leadership in health care finance management will be instrumental in ensuring BJC continues to meet the needs of our communities and provide exceptional care,” said Rich Liekweg, BJC Health System CEO. “We are grateful to Chuck for the contribution  he has made to the industry  over nearly 35 years, including serving an essential role at BJC in the integration of Saint Luke’s Health System into BJC Health System in January 2024.”

Robb’s professional honors include being named among the Kansas City Business Journal’s CFOS of the Year in 2021 and being named as one of Ingram’s Magazine’s Heroes in Healthcare in 2014.
