Brookwood Baptist Health and Brookwood Baptist Medical Center has named Jeremy Clark as chief executive officer.

Clark, who started his career at Brookwood Baptist Medical Center over 15 years ago, returns to Birmingham from Hilton Head Regional Healthcare, a 150 bed two-hospital system in South Carolina, where he has been the market CEO for the last six years. Under his leadership, the system has grown exponentially, and brought many firsts to the area, including advances in orthopedics, women's care and cardiac care. Prior to this, he served as CEO of Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett, a 196-bed acute care hospital in Bartlett, Tennessee. He also served as the chief operating officer at Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"I am delighted to return home, and look forward to being an integral part of further advancing healthcare offerings in this community," Clark said. "My wife and I are incredibly excited to raise our children in this area, in close proximity to some of our family and friends."
