CEO turnover across U.S. healthcare remains high, with more than 200 hospital and health system CEOs exiting in 2025. As organizations restructure leadership models either consolidating roles regionally or expanding executive responsibilities many hospitals are actively searching for new top leaders.
Here are 10 hospitals currently seeking CEOs:
- Desert Valley Hospital (Victorville, California)
- Great Falls Clinic Hospital (Great Falls, Montana)
- Havasu Regional Medical Center (Lake Havasu City, Arizona)
- Maple Heights Behavioral Health (Fort Wayne, Indiana)
- Northwest Texas Behavioral Health (Amarillo, Texas)
- Oceans Behavioral Hospital of Waco (Waco, Texas)
- PAM Health Specialty Hospital of Stoughton (Stoughton, Massachusetts)
- Resurrection Medical Center (Chicago, Illinois)
- Sutter Delta Medical Center (Antioch, California)
- William Newton Hospital (Winfield, Kansas) – Assistant CEO role
What’s driving the demand?
Healthcare leadership is evolving fast. Some systems are eliminating standalone hospital CEO roles in favour of regional oversight, while others are stretching existing executives across multiple facilities to cut costs and improve coordination.
The bigger picture:
Even with many leaders satisfied in their roles, the pressure from financial strain, workforce shortages, and operational complexity is pushing more executives to consider leaving. That’s creating both a leadership gap and an opportunity for the next generation of healthcare executives.
