St. John’s President and CEO Rob Earl is featured in the Rochester Business Journal’s 2026 Power List for Healthcare. The list recognizes leaders shaping the healthcare industry. In the profile, Earl shares his perspective on leadership and the future of senior living.

Earl highlighted the importance of adaptability and commitment to best practices. “Today’s healthcare leaders must be able to lead through constant change,” he told the Rochester Business Journal.  He also believes that strong leaders need empathy, emotional intelligence, strategic vision, and integrity. Together, these qualities help create a collaborative environment, navigate challenges, and foster a culture of excellence.

“At St. John’s, we are feeling very optimistic about our future,” Earl emphasized. As St. John’s celebrates 127 years of service, he sees opportunities to expand its services while continuing to meet the changing needs of older adults. Earl also shared his excitement for a new restaurant opening at Brickstone by St. John’s in September and its potential to bring residents, families, and the broader community together.
