Ms. Kerr leads two key community hospitals, both part of Clearwater, Fla.-based BayCare Health System, overseeing expansions to meet the demands of Florida’s rapidly growing population. In 2024, she helped open the new South Florida Baptist Hospital, nearly doubling its size, while launching an expansion at Bartow Regional Medical Center to increase bed capacity. Ms. Kerr executed the complex, multi-agency patient transfer from the original hospital facility and led enhancements in neurospine, surgery and obstetrics. A 30-year BayCare Health System veteran, she has served in leadership roles across the hospital network. Outside of her executive leadership role, she sits on multiple regional economic and chamber boards and is an active civic leader.
