Hospitals across the U.S. are seeking new CEOs as healthcare C-suites continue to evolve.
Some organizations are eliminating individual hospital CEO roles in favor of regional leadership models, especially as health systems grow. Others have expanded hospital CEOs’ responsibilities to include oversight of additional facilities as C-suite teams shrink.
Amid these changes, CEO turnover remains elevated. Hospitals reported 116 CEO exits in 2026 through September, up 22% from the same period in 2025, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Florida, Texas and California have seen the most hospital and health system CEO departures this year, according to a Becker’s analysis.
Here are six hospitals that recently posted job openings for CEOs.
