Mr. Wood serves as CEO of Lakeview Hospital, part of Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare. There, he oversees strategy, operations and clinical performance, and has driven growth in the hospital’s primary care network alongside expanded value-based care and telehealth offerings. Under his leadership, Lakeview Hospital has earned multiple consecutive 5-star CMS ratings and maintained 19 straight “A” Leapfrog safety grades. From 2020 to 2025, the hospital doubled its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and improved its profit margin by 7% under his direction. Mr. Wood has kept physician engagement above the 90th percentile throughout his tenure and cut employee turnover from 30% to less than 10%, elevating Lakeview to top-tier engagement rankings within the broader HCA system. He established HCA’s first value-based enterprise for orthopedics, which ranked third out of 137 hospitals for operational efficiency, outcomes and financial performance, and expanded Lakeview’s primary care network providers by 250%. Earlier in his career, he led divisionwide growth initiatives including the launch of tele-stroke services and virtual urgent care that were later adopted more broadly across the enterprise. He previously served as Lakeview’s COO, assistant administrator, director of business development and director of behavioral medicine, and holds board leadership roles including chair of the Davis County Health Department board of directors and chair of the Davis Technical College board of directors.
