AdventHealth has named Chase Tikker CEO for AdventHealth East Orlando, effective April 9, 2023. He will report to Doug Harcombe, CEO for AdventHealth Celebration and the South market.
“We’re pleased to have Chase step into this leadership role and continue to work alongside our amazing physicians and team members at AdventHealth East Orlando to deliver high-quality patient care and advance our mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ,” Harcombe said.
Tikker started his career at Loma Linda University Health in progressive finance and accounting roles. He joined AdventHealth Shawnee Mission in 2015 where he served in the areas of finance and physician enterprise operations. In early 2020, Tikker joined AdventHealth Orlando as the executive director of support services and eventually joined AdventHealth East Orlando as the chief operating officer where he has been responsible for planning, operations and growing hospital services in the surrounding market.
“I am honored to continue the incredible growth that AdventHealth East Orlando has seen in recent years,” Tikker said. “Our team’s culture and passion for providing whole-person care is what sets AdventHealth apart from other health care organizations, and our community recognizes that difference.”
Tikker has a Master of Business Administration from La Sierra University and a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Union College. He is a certified public accountant and serves on the boards of the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce and the Forest Lake Education Center.
Together with his wife Stephanie, Tikker has two children, Weston (6) and Annie (3). In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and playing golf.
