After 37 years of dedicated service, including 12 years as President and CEO, Mr. Neil Meltzer will retire in 2025.

The new CEO will be responsible for maintaining financial viability, developing strategic plans, enhancing the system’s reputation, and leveraging technology to enable patient-centric, high-quality and efficient operations. Of particular emphasis is that the next CEO will drive quality and patient experience to be in the top decile and have the ability to successfully lead LifeBridge within the framework of Maryland’s unique reimbursement system.
The ideal candidate will have significant C-suite experience within a health system and a proven track record in strategy, culture change, and program integration. Strong relationship-building skills with physicians, caregivers, employees, and the community are essential.
