A 30-year veteran in healthcare, Peter joined HCA at the two-campus hospital in Virginia in 2004 after some time as the CEO of St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. In fact, in his career Peter's held several executive positions in hospitals across Florida, California, Texas and New York.
“Peter is a veteran hospital administrator with more than 30 years' experience in multiple settings,” said Chuck Hall, President of HCA’s National Group. “He has a proven track record and has done a great job leading the integration of the two CJW campuses while continuing to foster growth and expand their services. We are pleased to welcome him to the West Florida Division.”
Marmerstein received his M.P.A. in healthcare administration from NYU in 1982 and a B.A. in psychology from Long Island University in 1977. He is currently a member of the Virginia Performing Arts Foundation and co-chaired the AHA's 2005 Heart Walk.
Congratulations Peter. Well deserved.
As for outgoing President Dan Miller, he will certainly be missed. He's presided over the West Florida Division since 1998 and has more than a thirty-year history in healthcare, nearly all of that time with HCA.
Dan was President of the Northeast Division from 1996 – 1998, CEO of the Regional Medical Center of Bayonet Point in Hudson, Florida from 1987 – 1996 and started with HCA's Management Company in 1981 as CEO for two hospitals until he moved to Bayonet Point.
He received a Master of Science in healthcare administration from the Medical College of Virginia in 1978 and a Bachelor of Science in industrial relations from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill in 1968.
“Dan has been a dynamic leader, professional colleague and friend for many years,” said Hall. “He has consistently led diverse groups of facilities through some of the most innovative and challenging changes in healthcare. We will all miss him greatly, but wish him well as he moves to the next phase of life.”
