Clark Sweat

As Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Clark Sweat leads strategy implementation at CMN Hospitals and works in unison with 170 member hospitals, corporate partners and other key stakeholders on a mission to Change Kids’ Health to Change the Future.

In his role, Clark oversees community operations, community experience, general counsel, strategic partnerships and diversity, equity and inclusion. His strategy of focusing on fewer, bigger partnerships and the importance of being relational, not transactional, has led to long-term alliances with companies like Walmart, Target, Costco, Williams-Sonoma, Marriott, RE/MAX, Procter & Gamble, General Mills, Johnson & Johnson, CVS, Walgreen’s, and Delta Air Lines — resulting in more than $7 billion raised.

Clark and his teams have earned accolades in the philanthropic sector, including the 2020 Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Organization of the Year. In 2007 and again in 2014, CMN Hospitals received the Cause Marketing Forum’s Golden Halo Award; Clark is the only person to receive the award twice.
