Dr. Patrick Frias is the President & CEO of Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals. A pediatric cardiologist by training, he has dedicated his career to improving the health and well-being of children and families.

Born in Concepción, Chile, Patrick moved to the United States as a young child when his family sought new opportunities. Inspired by his father, a pediatric geneticist, and his own early experiences observing medicine in action, he pursued a career in pediatric healthcare.

Before joining Rady Children’s in 2018, Patrick spent nearly two decades at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as a pediatric cardiologist and senior executive. Under his leadership in San Diego, the hospital has expanded critical programs, strengthened community partnerships, and launched major initiatives to address children’s mental health and the growing needs of the region.

Patrick is deeply guided by one simple question: “What’s best for the kids?” — a principle that continues to shape the hospital’s mission, innovation, and care for families across the community.

Outside of work, Patrick prioritizes time with his wife and four children, enjoying concerts, sports, and family traditions that keep him grounded in the values that guide both his life and leadership.
