Aurora, CO, September 12, 2018 --(PR.com)-- HCA Healthcare/HealthONE has announced the
appointment of Ryan Simpson as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Medical Center of Aurora
(TMCA) and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital. Simpson, currently the Chief Operating Officer at
Swedish Medical Center, will begin his new role on October 1.
Simpson will replace Dan Miller, who is leaving TMCA and Spalding after being appointed CEO at HCA
Healthcare's Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children's Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.
“Ryan brings over 12 years of experience as a COO into this new role, with six of those years being at
TMCA,” said Sylvia Young, President and CEO of the HealthONE System. “With his proven history at
the facility, he was the overwhelming choice of the medical staff and leadership team to fill the CEO role.
Ryan returns to a strong team that is well positioned for continued growth and committed to providing
high quality care.”
Simpson has been with HCA since 2010 and during his time at Swedish, he was instrumental in
relocating Colorado's largest urology practice to the facility, resulting in a 40% increase in robotic
surgeries. He led over $80 million in construction projects that included building a new hybrid OR, a cath
lab expansion, and a surgical robotics OR expansion. He also led tactics that improved physician
engagement to top-decile performance in HCA.
During his time at TMCA, Simpson led numerous development, construction and renovation projects
across campuses totaling over $70 million. Among the projects were the renovation of TMCA's
perioperative services, intensive care unit, emergency departments, Saddle Rock ER, and the
establishment of a behavioral health campus.
“I am honored and humbled to have been selected as CEO of The Medical Center of Aurora and Spalding
Rehabilitation Hospital,” said Simpson. “Having been in the COO position at TMCA for six years, I fully
understand what a wonderful facility it is. The physicians and employees have created a special culture
and I look forward to returning to work with TMCA's talented team as we continue to provide excellent
patient care to the community.”
