Mr. Adams leads strategy, planning, development, implementation and operational oversight of AdventHealth’s Central Florida division, encompassing 17 hospitals and emergency departments. He oversees more than 32,000 current team members and is responsible for recruiting the next generation of healthcare professionals. Under his leadership, the health system expanded recruitment efforts in local high schools and invested in dozens of Florida nursing schools. Just last year, AdventHealth committed $5 million toward the University of Central Florida’s College of Nursing. With Mr. Adams at the helm, AdventHealth has distinguished itself as the only health system in metro Orlando to achieve straight “A” patient safety grades from The Leapfrog Group. Additionally, U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked the division’s flagship hospital, AdventHealth Orlando, as the No. 1 hospital in the metro area for the past 14 years.
