  Florida Hospital Executive Selected to Lead Self Regional Healthcare web posted May 14, 2008  GREENWOOD—James A.
Pfeiffer of Palm
Harbor, Fla. has accepted the position of President and Chief Executive
Officer at Self Regional Healthcare, according to Len Bornemann,
chairman of the hospital’s board of trustees.Bornemann informed hospital staff Tuesday afternoon the board unanimously selected Pfeiffer to succeed M. John Heydel, who last fall announced plans to retire this summer after having served as Self Regional’s President and CEO since January of 1998. Pfeiffer will begin work on July 7 as President-Elect and will assume the position of President and CEO upon Heydel’s retirement on Aug. 8. Pfeiffer currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Morton Plant Mease Healthcare (MPMHC) in the Tampa and Clearwater area of Florida, Bornemann said. MPMHC is a four-hospital integrated system consisting of 1,261 beds, with net revenues of more than $800 million. “I am very thrilled and honored to be chosen to lead Self Regional Healthcare,” Pfeiffer said Tuesday morning. “John Heydel and the entire hospital team have strived for excellence and taken Self to an extremely high level. They should be extremely proud of these accomplishments, and I look forward to working with the team to carry on that tradition of excellence.” “It’s all about the community we serve,” Pfeiffer continued. “Our goal will be to continue to build on that level of trust so that people in our community will have complete confidence in Self Regional when they need our services.” Pfeiffer’s hospitals in Florida offer a full range of medical and surgical services as well as a family practice residency program in affiliation with the University of South Florida. MPMHC also has a joint operating agreement with Baycare Health System, which includes five additional major hospitals in the Tampa Bay area. Bornemann said Pfeiffer’s selection concludes an extremely thorough nationwide search that began seven months ago and attracted more than 300 candidates. He attributed Self Regional’s reputation for quality and its well respected team of employees and physicians with creating significant interest in the position. The selection process involved broad participation and included trustees, hospital administrators, employees and members of the medical staff, he noted. Joining Bornemann on the CEO search committee were fellow hospital trustees Hazel Hughes, Chuck Fox and Dr. David Isenhower. “Pfeiffer is an experienced leader who understands the value of quality and safety in serving patients and the community,” Bornemann shared. “He has helped lead his previous hospitals to numerous awards in this area, including recognition as Top 100 Hospitals overall.” “His hospital system also was the first in Florida to earn Magnet status for Nursing,” Bornemann continued. “I know he now looks forward to continuing the Self Excellence journey and building upon the many successes that this process has achieved for our hospital over the past several years.” Self Regional’s new President and CEO is a native of Fayetteville, NC. He holds the BS degree in Biology and an MBA in Finance from Florida State University. Prior to his current position, Pfeiffer served five years as President and CEO of Mease Hospitals. Upon graduating from college, he began his health career as a Registered Medical Technologist. Pfeiffer worked in the field of healthcare finance with Ernst & Young before entering hospital administration. He and his wife of 28 years, Leona, are parents to three children ranging in age from 15 to 23. He is an avid runner and cyclist. Self Regional Healthcare is a major referral and medical center, providing advanced healthcare services to a population of more than a quarter of a million people in the Lakelands region of Upstate South Carolina. Almost every major medical specialty is available through a medical staff of more than 180 physicians. Licensed for 421 beds, the hospital was founded in1951. ©
