Joel C. Taylor has been named administrator of Citizens Baptist Medical Center in Talladega. Taylor will begin his new position Sept. 13.
“Joel’s commitment to serving patients and his experience as a leader, along with his motivation, make him a great fit for Citizens Baptist,” said Keith Parrott, Baptist Health System north market leader.
As administrator, Taylor will provide direction and manage the hospital’s employees, volunteers, medical staff and community relations. He will also implement short- and long-term objectives for the hospital and nurture the hospital’s relationship with the community.
“I am excited to be joining Citizens Baptist and returning to Alabama,” Taylor said. “The hospital is poised for growth, which makes this opportunity to serve Talladega and the surrounding communities both a privilege and a challenge.”
Taylor comes to Citizens Baptist from White County Community Hospital in Sparta, Tenn., where he served as chief executive officer for the past two years. He also has served as assistant chief executive officer at Parkway Medical Center in Decatur.
