Suzannah C. Campbell

CEO

UAB St. Vincent’s East

Birmingham, AL

Ms. Campbell oversees hospital operations, strategic growth, physician alignment, financial performance and quality outcomes as CEO of UAB St. Vincent’s East, a 368-bed acute care hospital. Under her leadership, the hospital’s observed-to-expected mortality ratio improved from 1.90 to 0.728, with similar gains in acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and sepsis outcomes. Ms. Campbell recruited specialists across cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, critical care and neurology, and she strengthened the cardiology program by adding electrophysiology services and a dedicated 23-bed cardiology unit. She expanded telehealth access through telecardiology, telestroke and teleICU services, supported the transition of a pulmonology practice to an employed model and helped establish an intensivist program to improve care coordination. Ms. Campbell has sustained effective staffing models while fostering a culture of accountability among medical staff and leadership. Previously, as administrator of UAB St. Vincent’s Chilton in Clanton, Ala., she led the opening of a new community hospital that achieved zero serious safety events within its first year. She chairs the Samford University School of Public Health advisory board and serves on the boards of the Alabama Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce, among other civic roles.
