New chief operating officer at Atrium Medical Center
MIDDLETOWN, OHIO (May 4, 2016) – As the new chief operating officer for Premier Health’s Atrium Medical Center, Michael Uhl now serves in a leadership position for the same organization where he began his nursing career.
Uhl joined Atrium Medical Center earlier this year as chief operating officer, which is part of the Middletown hospital’s executive leadership team.
In this role, he oversees day-to-day operations of the city’s second largest employer. The full-service hospital and Level III Trauma Center employs more than 1,500 people in full-time, part-time and on-call positions.
“Mike is a valued addition to the Atrium team who brings a unique understanding of both hospital operations and experience as a Registered Nurse to help lead Atrium in a changing health care landscape, in which consumers have more choices for their health care,” said Carol Turner, president and chief executive officer of Atrium Medical Center.
Uhl worked part-time as a paramedic and firefighter while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nursing at University of Cincinnati. Upon graduation, he launched his nursing career nearly 20 years ago in Middletown.
“I found this to be an exciting opportunity because it returned me to my roots, but also because of where Atrium Medical Center is located in the market, along the growing Cincinnati-Dayton corridor, allows for ample strategic opportunities for the hospital,” Uhl said.
Immediately prior to this position, Uhl was systems vice president of operations innovation for Atrium Medical’s parent Premier Health. In that role, which he held from 2014 to the beginning of this year, he helped the nonprofit health system achieve millions in savings while at the same time improve quality and performance scores. In addition to being chief operating officer for Atrium, he still has several other areas of responsibilities for the whole Premier Health system.
Uhl’s past experience also includes nearly 10 years spent at Deloitte Consulting LLP advising health care clients on operational and financial process improvements. In the past, he also served in various roles such as clinical educator, emergency department nurse manager and operations manager.
