Community Health Network has appointed Patrick McGill, MD, as its next president and chief executive officer, following a nationwide search led by the organization’s Board of Directors. McGill, a board-certified family medicine physician and longtime Community executive, will assume the role on Jan. 1, 2026.
“After an extensive and thoughtful search, we are pleased to appoint a leader who already understands and embodies the mission, values and culture of Community Health Network,” said Rafael A. Sanchez, chair of the board. “Dr. McGill’s clinical expertise, strategic vision and commitment to innovation and equity make him uniquely qualified to serve as CEO.”
McGill currently serves as executive vice president and chief transformation officer, overseeing initiatives in digital transformation, analytics, population health, personalized medicine and value-based care. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, he has led efforts to improve care coordination and quality across the system.
“I am honored and humbled to step into the role of president and CEO,” McGill said. “Community Health Network is a mission-driven organization rooted in compassion, innovation and service. I look forward to building on our legacy and shaping the future of care for the communities we serve.”
McGill earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia and completed his residency in family medicine at Ball Memorial Hospital. He holds an MBA with a concentration in data analytics from the University of Southern Indiana and is pursuing a doctorate in healthcare administration.
He will succeed Bryan Mills, who is retiring after more than four decades with the organization. Under Mills’ leadership, Community Health Network expanded access to care and strengthened its role as a leading healthcare provider across Central Indiana.
