Jackson Hospital has announced new management, including a new CEO, in its effort to stay open. <\/p>\n
Effective Monday, John Quinlivan will serve as the CEO of the struggling Montgomery hospital, which declared bankruptcy earlier this year<\/a> after defaulting on about $60 million in bonds<\/a>. <\/p>\n Quinlivan has overseen hospitals in Florida and Georgia following a career in the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps. <\/p>\n He said his focus with Jackson will be to bring the hospital out of bankruptcy and implement a restructuring plan to ensure it stays open. <\/p>\n \u201cJackson Hospital has been through tremendous challenges, but I\u2019ve seen what\u2019s possible when you combine caring, engaged leadership with dedicated staff to make the changes needed for the health and vitality of critical community facilities like this,\u201d Quinlivan said in a press release.<\/p>\n \u201cThe foundation is here. Now we need to bring together the right plan, the right partnerships and relentless execution to ensure Jackson Hospital can continue serving Montgomery and the Alabama River Region.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with Quinlivan, the hospital also appointed three new members to its board of trustees \u2014 Charles Evans, Jeff Crudele and Gary M. Murphey \u2014 all of whom have experience in either hospital management or company restructuring. <\/p>\n \u201cThe new board, which assumed leadership on October 31, 2025, brings vital healthcare and financial competencies to guide the organization through restructuring, a feasible bankruptcy recovery plan, essential infrastructure repairs, payer contract improvements and operational resets that are vital in positioning Jackson Hospital to serve the healthcare needs of the community for generations to come,\u201d the hospital\u2019s press release said. <\/p>\n The leadership changes could help move Jackson Hospital\u2019s effort to get more funding forward. <\/p>\n The Montgomery City Council and the Montgomery County Commission have voted to provide the combined $25 million in grant money the hospital needs from local governments<\/a> in order to stay open. <\/p>\n The hospital needs an additional $25 million from the state \u2014 and both the city and county\u2019s financial commitments are contingent on the state coming to the table, too. <\/p>\n When asked whether they would give that amount to Jackson Hospital, Gov. Kay Ivey\u2019s office said leadership of the hospital was a key concern<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe health and safety of citizens served by Jackson Hospital is of paramount concern to Governor Ivey, but so is the responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. To this end, Governor Ivey has been engaged with local officials, federal partners, and Jackson Hospital stakeholders for months and continues to closely monitor all developments regarding the hospital\u2019s future,\u201d said Mike Lewis, deputy communications director for Gov. Ivey, in a statement on Oct. 22. <\/p>\n \u201cAll options are currently under consideration, but any state financial support must be predicated by a responsible sustainability plan to ensure Jackson Hospital\u2019s long-term viability.\u201d<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
