Breadcrumbs to Cheesecake is more than a story of bricks and mortar. Chronicling the inspiring journey of Willis-Knighton Health System over ninety years, this is the story of the people, vision and dreams that transformed a struggling inner-city hospital into a healthcare powerhouse. The successes, shortfalls and extraordinary accomplishments are presented through the experiences of the nation's longest-tenured hospital administrator, James K. Elrod, Willis-Knighton's chief executive for the past forty-eight years.The author details the vision, leadership and twenty-five game-changing strategies that transformed an insolvent hospital into a healthcare industry leader. Through its financial success Willis-Knighton has reaped much reward upon its community as it has become the region's major philanthropic anchor; healthcare and well-being services for the underprivileged are funded through an annually budgeted tithe of the health system's financial strength. Moving well beyond inpatient charity care, this level of commitment is almost unique within the realm of our nation's hospitals.More than an entertaining read, Breadcrumbs to Cheesecake records a strategic path that illustrates how this health system continues to make history. Elrod's account, garnered from nearly 50 years' worth of interactions with patients, doctors and employees, is interspersed with empirical knowledge, humorous anecdotes and philosophical beliefs on leadership that are applicable to all roles of responsibility.

Redemption. After futilely seeking a sense of meaning for decades, Martin had almost given up hope of finding any sense of belonging. He was illegitimate. He was without family roots. From as long as he could remember, Martin would go to the backyard on his birthday and look to the sky, imagining his mother’s voice telling him how special he was, how she loved him, and with her arms around him wishing him a happy birthday. This was a ritual Martin observed every birthday, regardless of the weather. Getting older for Martin wasn’t a simple matter of biological aging. Martin had no sense of who he was. His ancestry was unknown. Why had he been dumped on HER doorstep? What was wrong with him? Each successive birthday brought it all home: “I am illegitimate…a bastard…no standing in society…unworthy…hated by God and respectable people…useless.” Was life worth living without an identity? If he should overcome that hurdle and be lucky enough to discover his elusive family ties, would he be strong enough to take whatever turned up? Would his family accept him—warts and all? Life prepares us for the inevitable, and when we are strong enough, we are given the opportunity to match that preparedness with reality. Martin was in for a shock when he and his wife took on the adoption bureaucracy and finally discovered the appalling circumstances behind his illegitimacy. As the fateful day he had longed for approached when he would meet his family, he wondered if he would be tough enough to take the truth. Could he handle it? Would he find his redemption?
