Mr. Geeslin has helmed Central Health since May 2017. Around the time he began his tenure, the intent was to have the CEO serve for five to seven years, according to an April 11 news release.

“For the past year, I’ve met with the Board about Central Health’s ongoing transformation and thinking about the next generation of CEOs to lead the organization,” Mr. Geeslin said in the release. “Organizations should be deliberate in embracing change and controlling their destiny, and this includes creating leadership change. It’s been almost six years since I started at Central Health, and the time is drawing near for me to move on to the next life phase. With Central Health becoming a more expansive and sophisticated hospital district, the stage is created for a climate of constructive transition.”

Before joining Central Health, Mr. Geeslin was executive director for the Texas Dental Association in Austin.

Central Health is the public hospital district serving Travis County residents.
