Jensen was the biomedical institution’s interim chief clinical operating officer for more than nine months and provided operational leadership for its largest clinical network expansion to date: the addition of Pacific Shores Medical Group. Jensen also led the recent opening of City of Hope | Corona and the opening of a 34,000-square-foot outpatient clinic in Los Angeles as part of City of Hope’s larger campus expansion plan.

“Vince Jensen is a recognized health care executive with nearly three decades of leadership experience in the hospital, medical foundation and large multispecialty group setting. Vince has proven that he has a keen ability to work across the enterprise to fulfill City of Hope’s mission to bring compassionate, leading-edge, specialized cancer care to more patients, regardless of where they live,” said Michael Caligiuri, M.D., president of City of Hope National Medical Center and the Deana and Steve Campbell Physician-in-Chief Distinguished Chair.

Jensen has served in executive leadership roles for academic and nonacademic health care institutions, where he focused on clinical care operations, health care finance, clinical growth strategy, and health care mergers and acquisitions.

He joined City of Hope more than 21 years ago as a managed care executive and was instrumental in the development of City of Hope’s bone marrow transplant partnership with Kaiser Permanente and in the creation of national centers of excellence relationships — expanding access to City of Hope, especially when patients have complex cancers and need specialized care.

Early on, Jensen helped shape City of Hope's vision to develop a clinical network and bring cancer care closer to patients’ homes. Since 2015, he has led an ambitious growth strategy for City of Hope, successfully expanding its clinical footprint to more than 35 clinical care sites across Southern California. He has been a key, visionary leader in the development of City of Hope’s new campus in Orange County, which is expected to open later this year. Jensen became senior vice president for City of Hope’s ambulatory operations in 2019.

Prior to City of Hope, Jensen served as president and chief operating officer for Sansum Clinic, a health system in Santa Barbara, California. He began his career in the Providence Health System, where he served the Los Angeles Service region in clinical and administrative roles for over a decade before joining City of Hope in 1998. Jensen has a Master of Business Administration from the University of La Verne.

Jensen serves on the board of Alliance of Dedicated Cancer Centers and has served on the board of directors for the California Association of Physician Groups and the Economic Forecast Project for the University of California Santa Barbara.
