There’s a new leader at the helm of Tallahassee’s HCA Florida Capital Hospital. Chris Mosley came on board as the facility’s CEO early this year.
Mosely said his connection to the region is long and deep.
“I was with HCA from 2011 through 2021, a little more than 10 years, and spent time in five different HCA facilities in South Carolina and Florida. My last HCA facility was just north of Atlanta, Georgia.”
Mosely stayed on after that hospital was taken over by new ownership. He returned to the HCA fold when the top job in Tallahassee became available.
“This position was open and as I learned more and more about the opportunity here at Capital, I became increasingly intrigued about what we could potentially do based on the momentum we’d built up over the past several years.”
Which includes some service expansions within the main hospital building and the addition of increased residency programs for new doctors in psychiatric medicine and dermatology.
“For me as someone who likes to go to hospitals and grow and develop new services, recruit new physicians and build things, that was really appealing.”
Especially, he said, given the facility’s history of strong patient outcomes. The HCA-owned hospital typically receives high ratings from the hospital grading company, Leapfrog.
But Mosely insisted it’s not only about the big main hospital building on Capital Medical Boulevard. He expects the recent focus on remote emergency rooms and urgent care facilities, as well as telehealth services, to expand greatly.
“Part of that for us is to assess where growth is taking place, where there’s a need, where there’s potentially a healthcare desert, so that we can go in and place assets so they can be utilized by growing populations.”
