Effective immediately, Luke Gregory has been named Chief Executive Officer for Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Gregory has been serving as Interim CEO since last September. The appointment was announced to hospital faculty and staff at a town hall meeting Wednesday.
Luke’s rich background in health care administration has enabled him to quickly step in and understand our hospital. He has embraced every opportunity to learn about caring for children and families even as he has taught our team new ways to approach a challenge. It has been a true pleasure to work with him as he has engaged with leaders, faculty and staff to further our mission of providing excellence in children’s health care. I look forward to continuing to support him as he leads our team in this important work. — Margaret Rush, M.D., Chief of Staff
Gregory’s appointment comes at an important time with last fall’s announcement of a multi-phase, multi-year expansion to the facility. He joined Vanderbilt in 2007 as Senior Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer in the Office of Business Development. While in this role, he was active in the development of Vanderbilt Health at One Hundred Oaks, the acquisition of Franklin Bone and Joint, and was instrumental in the partnership expansion of Vanderbilt Home Care with Walgreen’s to include home infusion services.
Gregory earned his undergraduate degree from Emory University and holds multiple master’s degrees, including a Master in Religion from Vanderbilt; and a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Health Administration from Georgia State University. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives.
On a personal note, Gregory and his wife Susan, who also works in health care as a social worker, are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year. They have two grown children, Kate and Ben. Kate is employed by Emory University’s Department of Development and Alumni Relations. Ben is a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis.
