New CEO hired at Angel Medical Center

Mission Health has hired Clint Kendall to serve as the new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Nursing Officer at Angel Medical Center in Franklin.

He also provided oversight of Andalusia Physician Services in South Central Alabama. He believes in promoting transparent communication among providers and employees, and has earned high marks for patient care, safety, culture of excellence and employee satisfaction.
