CLEARWATER, Florida—BayCare announced it has named Chase Hall its new vice president of care continuity and business development. Hall brings more than 15 years of experience in health care leadership, and in this role, Hall will report to both C. Todd Jones, chief strategy officer and chief ambulatory services officer, and Lou Galdieri, chief administrative officer.
"As BayCare continues to grow, we need leaders who can balance operational excellence with innovation," said Galdieri. "Chase brings that combination, and we're confident his vision will help us expand access and enhance the patient and provider experience throughout West Central Florida."
Hall joins BayCare from Baptist Health Louisville, where he most recently served as vice president of clinical operations, overseeing multiple service lines and leading a team of more than 800 employees.

"We are excited to welcome him and look forward to his leadership as we continue to advance BayCare's strategic priorities."
Hall is responsible for helping BayCare grow and improve how it serves the community, leading efforts to welcome more patients, making it easier for people to get care and ensuring that care is well-coordinated across BayCare's hospitals and outpatient centers. He also will develop systems that support growth, keep patients connected to BayCare for their ongoing care needs and guide the expansion of key service lines. In partnership with executive leadership, Hall will align organizational strategy with day-to-day care delivery so that BayCare continues to meet the evolving needs of patients across West Central Florida.
"I am honored to join an organization so deeply committed to its communities," Hall said. "BayCare has a clear vision for the future of health care, and I'm eager to support our teams as we strengthen access, elevate the patient experience and continue delivering the exceptional care that BayCare is known and recognized for."
