In addition to executive oversight for several clinical and operational departments, he also served as the executive sponsor for the Physician Engagement team and the Operations Council.
“Tyler brings a special blend of project management, hospital operations, and business development skills to his new role,” said Ryan Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer at The Medical Center of Aurora and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital. “He has had progressive leadership experience at HCA since joining in 2012 and will be an outstanding addition to our executive leadership team.”
