David Banks

President and CEO

AdventHealth

Altamonte Springs, FL

Mr. Banks assumed the presidency and the CEO role at AdventHealth in April 2025, taking the helm of a faith-based health care system encompassing 55 hospital campuses, more than 2,000 care sites and 100,000 team members. He stepped into the position after more than three decades of progressive leadership within the organization. Most recently, he served as group CEO for AdventHealth’s primary health division and multi-state division, overseeing 22 campuses across eight states and three regional partnerships. He was instrumental in the visionary architecture and leadership of the primary health division, which was designed to provide longitudinal, whole-person primary care across the full clinical and age continuum. For eight years prior, Mr. Banks served as AdventHealth’s chief strategy officer, providing executive oversight of the development and ongoing execution of “Vision 2030,” the organization’s strategic 10-year business plan. His involvement as chief strategy officer provided him with a uniquely comprehensive understanding of the organization’s strategic direction upon stepping into the CEO role. His deep operational expertise is further rooted in earlier roles as an administrator for several facilities in the Central Florida division, providing firsthand experience with the communities and care settings at the core of AdventHealth’s mission. Beyond AdventHealth, Mr. Banks has been an active participant in the community, having served as co-chair of the executive board for the American Heart Association of Central Florida, chairman for Community Vision, and on the board of the YMCA of Central Florida.
