Sam Huenergardt, president and chief executive officer of Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC), an Adventist Health System facility, will transfer to serve as president/CEO for Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, Colorado effective July 27, 2015. This hospital is also a member of Adventist Health System through the Centura Health organization.
“Sam has had much success at CTMC for the past five years leading out in initiatives to advance robotic services and interventional cardiology, while also significantly improving quality and patient experience,” said Ken Finch, president and CEO of the Adventist Health System Southwest Region and Board Chairman at CTMC. “While change is always difficult, I know that the team at CTMC is strong and will continue to serve the community of San Marcos by living our mission to extend the healing ministry of Christ.”
Prior to assuming his role in Texas, Huenergardt served as the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Gordon Hospital (an Adventist Health System facility) in Calhoun, Georgia from 2005 to 2010.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska, and a Master’s in Business Administration from Baker University in Overland Park, Kansas. Huenergardt’s career has been rich within Adventist Health System,and this move allows him and his wife to be closer to their extended families.
Finch will be leading out in the candidate search for Huenergardt’s replacement and will be naming an interim CEO in a few weeks so that work can begin to overlap in order to secure a seamless transition.
