Aurora, CO, September 12, 2018 --(PR.com)-- HCA Healthcare/HealthONE has announced the appointment of Ryan Simpson as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Medical Center of Aurora (TMCA) and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital. Simpson, currently the Chief Operating Officer at Swedish Medical Center, will begin his new role on October 1.
Simpson will replace Dan Miller, who is leaving TMCA and Spalding after being appointed CEO at HCA Healthcare’s Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.
“Ryan brings over 12 years of experience as a COO into this new role, with six of those years being at TMCA,” said Sylvia Young, President and CEO of the HealthONE System. “With his proven history at the facility, he was the overwhelming choice of the medical staff and leadership team to fill the CEO role. Ryan returns to a strong team that is well positioned for continued growth and committed to providing high quality care.”
Simpson has been with HCA since 2010 and during his time at Swedish, he was instrumental in relocating Colorado’s largest urology practice to the facility, resulting in a 40% increase in robotic surgeries. He led over $80 million in construction projects that included building a new hybrid OR, a cath lab expansion, and a surgical robotics OR expansion. He also led tactics that improved physician engagement to top-decile performance in HCA.
During his time at TMCA, Simpson led numerous development, construction and renovation projects across campuses totaling over $70 million. Among the projects were the renovation of TMCA's perioperative services, intensive care unit, emergency departments, Saddle Rock ER, and the establishment of a behavioral health campus.
Simpson received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama. He received his Masters of Science in both Business Administration and Health Administration from University of Alabama at Birmingham.
“I am honored and humbled to have been selected as CEO of The Medical Center of Aurora and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital,” said Simpson. “Having been in the COO position at TMCA for six years, I fully understand what a wonderful facility it is. The physicians and employees have created a special culture and I look forward to returning to work with TMCA’s talented team as we continue to provide excellent patient care to the community.”
At TMCA, Simpson will oversee the award-winning medical center’s six campuses, which include two freestanding ERs (Centennial Medical Plaza and Saddle Rock ER), Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital Aurora and Spalding Rehabilitation at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, TMCA’s Behavioral Health and Wellness Center, and a vast array of other services.
