President, Trinity Health Grand Rapids
Best Supporting Man
Dr. Matt Biersack feels obligated to use his position, privilege and voice to support those who don’t have the same opportunities he’s had—be it in pay, promotion or any other aspect of their career.
As a trusted and collaborative leader who has served as President of Trinity Health Grand Rapids since March 2021, Dr. Biersack began his professional career as a hospital-based Internal Medicine physician, and has served in several administrative roles at THGR. A mission-centered leader, he serves as a strong advocate for community needs, and has helped forge partnerships to address much needed access to behavioral healthcare. He is a champion for hospital employee and patient safety initiatives as well as THGR’s DEI work, where he has taken an active role in ensuring an organizational focus on advancing diversity and eliminating racism. Dr. Biersack serves as Board Co-Chair for TalentFirst, and on the Board of Trustees for Aquinas College, as well as The Right Place.
Dr. Biersack, a Grand Rapids native, says, “Men have an essential role in promoting equitable outcomes in the workplace, and in doing so, they’ll unlock the incredible potential of the women around them.”
