"The strong leadership skills he has demonstrated throughout his career will be integral to operationalizing our plans for expansion at Parkridge East. We couldn't be more pleased to welcome him to the Parkridge Health family."
Ozburn said Windham has served in progressive leadership roles since 2006 across Parkridge Health parent company HCA Healthcare and said Windham "is poised to make an immediate impact on Parkridge East, spurring the hospital's growth initiatives – notably an expansion of The Birth Place that is currently underway."
