AdventHealth has named Tim Williams as chief operating officer (COO) at AdventHealth DeLand.
During his more than 15-year career in health care, Williams has served in many leadership roles, most recently as COO of the ambulatory division and physician enterprise at NorthBay Health in California, where he led major operational improvements that enhanced patient care. His health care leadership experience also includes serving as an operations executive with Adventist Health in California, and as an active-duty officer in the U.S. Air Force Medical Service Corps.
“I’m delighted to have Tim join our DeLand team,” said Khelsea Bauer, AdventHealth DeLand President and CEO. “As a new member of this amazing community myself, I feel incredibly fortunate to share this journey with a leader of his caliber and experience.”
In a bit of a full-circle moment, Williams returns to AdventHealth DeLand nearly two decades after serving as a management intern with the hospital.
“DeLand is buzzing with promise, and I am excited to once again be part of the community,” said Williams. “It’s a true privilege to collaborate with our exceptional caregivers, staff and leadership as we further the legacy of Christ’s healing ministry in West Volusia.”
Williams earned a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Management from the University of North Carolina as well as a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in finance from Walla Walla University.
He fills the COO position previously held by Nick Bejarano, who recently became the president and CEO for AdventHealth Manchester in Kentucky.
