Two Wiregrass hospitals have new CEOs after a change that involved a job swap.
Suzanne Woods, CEO at Flowers Hospital since 2011, has taken over as CEO at Medical Center Enterprise, while Heath Phillips leaves that position in Enterprise to take on the CEO role at Flowers. No reason for the job changes was given.
Woods worked her way up to CEO after 22 years with Flowers, where she worked as an administrative resident, medical staff coordinator, vice president of professional services and chief operating officer before becoming CEO.
According to information released by the hospital, Flowers grew during Woods’ time as CEO, with expansion of surgical services and the establishment of a multi specialty practice with more than 30 physicians.
Woods is a Dothan native and graduated Northview High School in 1989. She holds a bachelor’s degree in human and organizational development from Vanderbilt University, a master’s degree in health administration and a certificate in gerontology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Phillips had previously worked as chief operating officer at Flowers Hospital in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, Phillips was promoted to CEO at Medical Center Enterprise. As the new CEO at Flowers, Phillips will continue to oversee the work to expand the neurology and neurosurgery services at the hospital.
Flowers Hospital is a 235-bed facility that employees around 1,300 people.
The news comes days after the hospital announced job cuts. Flowers Hospital typically rates high in customer satisfaction as well as health benchmarks used to grade hospitals. The hospital is in the midst of a class action lawsuit resulting from the theft of patient records.
