Audrey Gregory, Ph.D., RN has been named senior executive vice president and CEO of AdventHealth’s new Multi-Division Delivery Network, comprised of the system’s Multi-State and Primary Health divisions. In this elevated role, Gregory will oversee strategy and operations across a broad portfolio hospitals and outpatient facilities and will report to David Banks, president/CEO of AdventHealth.
“Audrey is a dynamic leader who builds strong integrated delivery networks and leads teams effectively so they can deliver on our mission and brand promise,” Banks said. “She has a unique ability to rally provider and care teams around a unified goal, which in turn opens the door for more members of our communities to feel whole.”
With more than 30 years of experience in health care – including 20 as a health care executive and a decade as a trauma and emergency room nurse – Gregory’s career began at the bedside, a foundation that continues to influence her leadership today. She remains deeply passionate about nursing education and professional growth.
She joined AdventHealth in 2021, serving as president/CEO of AdventHealth’s East Florida Division, where she led a growing network of care across Flagler, north Lake, St. Johns, south Sumter, and Volusia counties. She also provided oversight for AdventHealth’s relationship with Health First located in Brevard County. Prior to joining AdventHealth, she held senior executive roles at Tenet Health and the Detroit Medical Center, where she served as group CEO.
“I’m honored to take on this new role and continue serving within a system that prioritizes compassionate, equitable and innovative care,” Gregory said. “I look forward to supporting our leaders and teams in the Multi-State and Primary Health divisions as we extend the healing ministry of Christ to more communities across the country.”
Gregory earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in nursing, and a master’s degree in health care administration from the Georgia Southern University Armstrong Campus in Savannah, Georgia. In 2011, she completed her doctorate in global leadership from Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. She has earned national recognition for her commitment to health equity and patient-centered care.
In addition to spending time with her husband and children, Gregory takes joy in reading, traveling, mentoring others and enjoying quality time with her large family.
