Michael Murrill has been named president and CEO for the Southeast Region and for AdventHealth Gordon and AdventHealth Murray. In this role, Murrill will focus on the development of the Southeast Region, which includes hospitals in Georgia, Kentucky and North Carolina. Additionally, Murrill will serve as CEO at both AdventHealth Gordon in Calhoun, Georgia, and AdventHealth Murray in Chatsworth, Georgia.
Murrill will assume his new role on June 15 and will report to Randy Haffner, president and CEO for AdventHealth’s Multi-State Division.
“Michael is a values-driven leader who is dedicated to the furthering of our mission. As I’ve watched Michael grow, I’ve been impressed with his bias toward progressive leadership and his commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those he leads and in the communities where he’s served. I know these qualities will serve him well as he steps into this new role,” Haffner said.
Murrill has worked for AdventHealth for the past 18 years. He joined the organization’s La Grange hospital in 2008 as a finance manager and quickly advanced to become chief financial officer at the Bolingbrook campus in 2011. In 2015, he was named chief operating officer overseeing AdventHealth’s Chicago-area hospitals in Bolingbrook, La Grange and Hinsdale. He was named CEO of the La Grange hospital in July 2017 and added the role of CEO of the Hinsdale hospital in February 2019. Today, those facilities operate as UChicago Medicine AdventHealth La Grange, Bolingbrook and Hinsdale.
“I have been privileged to work with great teams throughout my career and feel honored to continue serving within AdventHealth in this new role. I am so excited to be a part of the Southeast Region and look forward to engaging with the teams and getting to know the communities we serve as we continue to answer the calling to extend the healing ministry of Christ,” said Murrill.
Murrill earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Andrews University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Colorado. Murrill is actively involved in his community and currently serves as board chair at Hinsdale Adventist Academy as well as a board member of the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Economic Development Commission for the Village of Hinsdale.
Murrill and his wife of 17 years, Melissa, and their two boys, Mason (12) and Max (10), look forward to moving to the Calhoun community in June. They enjoy going on hikes as a family and spending time outdoors.
