Chris Self named president and CEO of AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon

Chris Self has been named president and CEO of AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon. Self will assume his new role in December and will report to Murrill. Currently, Self serves as president and CEO of AdventHealth Manchester located in Clay County, Kentucky. In his new role, Self will provide executive leadership and oversee the day-to-day operations of AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon, working alongside his leadership teams to ensure the delivery of care throughout the communities of Northwest Georgia.

“Chris is a mission-driven leader who leads with a bias toward meaningful action,” said Murrill. “His ability to rally a team around a common cause and foster a collaborative and inclusive culture are just a few of the many reasons I’m excited for Chris to step into this role. I’m confident that through his leadership, AdventHealth will be able to further our delivery of faith-based, whole-person care across the communities of Northwest Georgia.”

Self began with AdventHealth 17 years ago, serving in multiple leadership roles over the course of his career. Starting in Florida, he served on the AdventHealth Foundation Central Florida team and later led business development at AdventHealth Kissimmee. From there, he moved to North Carolina to serve as administrative director of business development and strategy at AdventHealth Hendersonville. In 2016, Self was called to lead as chief operating officer at AdventHealth Manchester. He served in that capacity for two years before assuming his current role as president/CEO. Under his leadership, AdventHealth Manchester has grown and continues to expand its reach beyond its local community through the expansion of multiple service lines, outreach clinics and an intentional focus on community and economic development, as well as mission projects.

“I feel blessed to have the opportunity to lead AdventHealth Murray and AdventHealth Gordon,” Self said. “I look forward to working alongside the compassionate, mission- focused care teams and community partners as we continue to deliver Christ-centered care that helps our communities feel whole,” said Self.
