MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA<\/a>) – Ailing Jackson Hospital is shaking up its leadership team, announcing Monday the appointments of several trustees to its board and naming a new chief executive officer to helm the hospital in efforts to restore its financial health.<\/p>\n

John Quinlivan was tapped as CEO to lead the hospital through its ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings.<\/p>\n

New board members include Chairman Charles Evans, Jeff Crudele, and Gary M. Murphey, which Jackson said will bring \u201cvital healthcare and financial competencies\u201d that will help guide the hospital \u201cthrough restructuring, a feasible bankruptcy recovery plan, essential infrastructure repairs, payer contract improvements and operational resets\u201d it says is critical to keeping the hospital operating.<\/p>\n

CHARLES EVANS<\/b><\/p>\n

Jackson called Evans \u201can internationally recognized leader in hospital management\u201d who oversaw more than 120 hospitals while previously serving as the president of HCA Healthcare\u2019s Eastern Group.<\/p>\n

JEFF CRUDELE<\/b><\/p>\n

Jackson said Crudele\u2019s 30-year career \u201cis recognized as one of the most accomplished senior financial executives in the healthcare industry,\u201d and pointed to the significant turnaround under of the Allegheny Health Network while he was its chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

GARY MURPHEY<\/b><\/p>\n

Jackson said Murphey brings more than 35 years of experience in financial examinations, forensic accounting and managing financially distressed companies, and has served in roles that include CEO, CFO and chief restructuring officer.<\/p>\n

The board\u2019s first decision after taking on a leadership role was to name Quinlivan as CEO, a hire that became effective Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuinlivan brings decades of hospital management experience and a strong history of improving performance and financial stability,\u201d the hospital said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJackson Hospital has been through tremendous challenges, but I\u2019ve seen what\u2019s possible when you combine caring, engaged leadership with dedicated staff to make the changes needed for the health and vitality of critical community facilities like this,\u201d Quinlivan said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe foundation is here,\u201d the new CEO added. \u201cNow we need to bring together the right plan, the right partnerships and relentless execution to ensure Jackson Hospital can continue serving Montgomery and the Alabama River Region.\u201d<\/p>\n

BANKRUPTCY ONGOING<\/b><\/p>\n

Jackson filed for bankruptcy this year after defaulting on $60 million in bond payments in 2024. It has worked to stave off possible closure and, in mid-October a federal judge approved additional funding<\/b><\/a> to help keep Jackson Hospital\u2019s doors open – for now.<\/p>\n
