Real leadership that leads to high engagement, higher
performance, and a culture of accountability
As president and CEO of Scripps Health, one of America's most
prestigious health systems, Chris Van Gorder presided over a
dramatic turnaround, catapulting Scripps from near bankruptcy to a
dominant market position. While hospitals and health systems
nationwide have laid people off or are closing their doors, Scripps
is financially healthy, has added thousands of employees (even with
a no-layoff philosophy), and has developed a reputation as a top
employer. What are the secrets to this remarkable story?
In The Front-Line Leader, Chris Van Gorder candidly
shares his own incredible story, from police officer to CEO, and
the leadership philosophy that drives all of his decisions and
actions: people come first. Van Gorder began his unlikely career as
a California police officer, which deeply instilled in him a sense
of social responsibility, honesty, and public service. After being
injured on the job and taking an early retirement, Van Gorder had
to reinvent himself, taking a job as a hospital security director,
a job that would change his life. Through hard work and
determination, he rose to executive ranks, eventually becoming CEO
of Scripps. But he never forgot his own roots and powerful work
ethic, or the time when he was a security officer and a CEO would
not make eye contact with him.
Van Gorder leads from the front lines, making it a priority to
know his employees and customers at every level. His values learned

Perfect For My Routine
Color: Black
I am retired military, so exercise has always been a part of my daily routine. Since the pandemic I have had to adjust, which is hard because the gym has the equipment I have become accustomed to. I didn’t realize how different it was working out there as when I started to work out at home on my hard wood floors (no carpet anywhere). I thought it would be easy but the military exercise mat is entirely too thin and was making my tailbone hurt tremendously, so I had to give up my sit-ups and some other ab exercises. This kind of threw a wrench into my routine and I could start feeling my motivation go away. I decided to take a look on Amazon for a thicker mat. I should have done this long ago because I found this one I’m writing about. It’s the shape of any typical exercise Matt except it’s 1” thick. It appears to be made of a type of foam (not bothering to look at the description right now). When I pulled it out I thought I was going to sink in making sit-ups even harder but it’s firm but not hard. I like it better than what is at the gym. Durability will be hard to determine until I’ve had it a while but I’m definitely excited to start back up on my exercises.
I recommend this mat if you have hard wood floors, bad back, bad knees, etc.
I thought I read some negative reviews about mats this thick because of yoga and balance but I beg to differ. If balancing is part of your exercise routine, then a mat which makes balance harder is exactly what you want. Exercise is supposed to be challenging and you need to work harder to see a difference. If that isn’t your goal or if balance is a medical issue, this may not be the right mat for you. Something you may not think about is I have chronic foot pain and this mat makes it less painful for me to stand or jump.
For me, this mat is perfect.

Extra Cushioning for Comfort
Color: Red
This mat is thick and cushy - even with meniscus tears in both knees I can comfortably exercise. And I love the color.

Nice, thick & comfy but came w/ punctures in foam; seller provided discount
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I love the mat. It's thick and very comfortable on my knees. However, when I opened it for the first time at my yoga class, there were several cuts or punctures in the foam. I attempted to return it and the seller offered me a 10% refund due to the damage. I am concerned that the mat may deteriorate due to the damage it came with, but I need it and have no idea if the cuts will matter over time. So I accepted the $3 refund and am keeping the mat.

Great workout mat
Color: Green
It’s very thick and soft so it makes exercising a lot easier. It rolls easily ready to store. And it seems very durable. It is also flexible for certain exercises for balance.
