(Black PR Wire) Miami, FL – It’s a new era for Jessie Trice Community Health System (JTCHS)!  In a vibrant atmosphere filled with energy and excitement, JTCHS introduced its new President and CEO, Ryan R. Hawkins, to the South Florida community. The event took place on June 11 at the JTCHS Barbara J. Jordan Community Health and Wellness Center.

The celebration brought together JTCHS board members, staff, state and local government representatives, healthcare and community leaders, members of the media, and other stakeholders, all eager to meet the man set to lead JTCHS into a promising future.

“Having the opportunity to lead an organization as JTCHS  is a tremendous honor,” said Hawkins, president and CEO of JTCHS. “I am deeply committed to continuing JTCHS’s legacy of providing exceptional healthcare to the community. Together, we will build on our strengths, embrace new opportunities, and ensure that every person in our community has access to the quality care they deserve.”

No stranger to South Florida, Mr. Hawkins is a well-respected health system administrator and government executive with over 16 years of experience in the field. Prior to joining JTCHS, Hawkins spent the last eight years as an executive with Jackson Health System, serving two years as the Chief of Staff to the Chief Operating Officer and the last six as the Chief Operating Officer of Jackson North Medical.

“With Hawkins at the helm, we are entering a new era at JTCHS,” said Irene Taylor-Wooten, JTCHS Board Chair. “His leadership, expertise, and commitment to excellence will propel us forward, ensuring we continue to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community.”

Mr. Hawkins’ leadership journey through roles in the Miami-Dade County Commission, Florida Senate, and community advocacy positions him well to guide JTCHS to new heights.
