                      Medical Center Enterprise Welcomes New CEO, Rich Ellis

                      4/29/2013

                      Enterprise, AL – Richard Ellis began his new role as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Medical Center Enterprise Hospital effective on April 29, 2013.

                      Prior to moving to Enterprise, Mr. Ellis served as the COO for a 355-bed Tenet Healthcare Hospital in Hickory, North Carolina. Rich brings 12 years of hospital executive experience and 21 years of active and reserve experience as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard to his position here. His extensive hospital operations management combined with his military command skills are the perfect combination to address the health management needs of Enterprise, Fort Rucker, and surrounding communities.

                      He earned his MBA from the University of Texas in Austin and is a Fellow of the American College of Hospital Executives.

                      Rich and his wife, Michelle, are excited about coming to Enterprise, and mentioned, “The things that attracted us to come here were Medical Center Enterprise, the people, the school system, and the growing economy of Enterprise and Coffee County.” Rich and Michelle have five children ranging in age from two to twelve years of age.

                      Medical Center Enterprise is a 131-bed progressive, acute care, hospital, providing women's services, emergency services, surgery, physical therapy, family/internal medicine, and more for Enterprise, Ft. Rucker, Coffee County, and surrounding areas. At Medical Center Enterprise, skilled professionals and technology come together to provide compassionate, patient-centered, care. Medical Center Enterprise was named one of the nation's top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Commission.
