Chief Executive Officer
Memorial Hospital and Manor
Bainbridge, GA - United States
Memorial Hospital and Manor (MHM), located in Bainbridge, GA, seeks an inspirational, visible, results-oriented executive to serve as the organization’s next Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This role is available due to the retirement of James Lambert, who has successfully served in this role since 2017. This is an exciting opportunity to serve at the helm of an organization that has been deeply rooted in its community for more than 60 years.
MHM is an independent, not-for-profit health system comprised of an 80-bed community hospital; a 107-bed long-term care facility; 5 physician practices; and a 22-bed personal care facility. The health system is owned and operated by the Hospital Authority of the City of Bainbridge and Decatur County. With net patient revenues of approximately $45 million, MHM is one of the largest employers in the area with more than 500 employees and 28 active medical staff.
Reporting directly to the Hospital Authority Board, the CEO is directly responsible for the strategy and operations of MHM. In partnership with the Board, the CEO will review and lead the execution and implementation of MHM’s long term strategy and mission. The CEO will be joining at a pivotal time in MHM’s history as the organization further strengthens its financial position by reducing costs, improving operational performance, and identifying growth opportunities to better serve patients. It is vital that the CEO quickly assess market dynamics and identify opportunities to grow services, increase market share, and reduce patient outmigration. The CEO will serve as a champion for employee engagement, patient experience, quality and safety.
A key priority for the CEO will be assessing MHM’s physical infrastructure and creating a plan for its renovation and expansion. This includes analyzing infrastructure and capital needs, identifying the best solutions for the project, and developing a financing plan. The CEO will also need to secure support from internal and external stakeholders, such as senior leadership, board members, and local officials. Additionally, the CEO will represent MHM in the community, build relationships with local leaders, and enhance the organization’s brand.
The ideal candidate will bring ten (10) years of progressive senior leadership experience in a hospital or health system. A successful candidate will be a strong people manager with the ability to influence key stakeholders throughout the organization. They will be an engaging and trustworthy individual who can motivate and influence others to deliver exceptional service through integrity, diversity and courage.
