Sept. 27, 2002 – Rodney E. Miller Sr., chief executive officer of Roy L. Schneider Hospital, has been named one of 13 "Up and Comers" in health-care leadership by Modern Healthcare magazine.
Miller, who joined the hospital in May, was selected from a group of more than 100 nominated health-care executives as a leader who will change the industry.
Since assuming the helm at Schneider Hospital, Miller has focused on increasing the hospital's efficiency and providing the highest level of patient care.
Miller, the hospital board and staff continue with plans to develop the hospital's cancer center. Groundbreaking at the new facility is scheduled for early next year with completion estimated for mid-2005.
Before joining Schneider Hospital, Miller was the administrator of the cardiovascular unit at Memorial Healthcare System in Savannah, Ga.
"I view this as recognition not only for me, but also for the entire Virgin Islands community," Miller said, adding that he looked forward to working with the community "to make the Roy L. Schneider Hospital the health-care provider of choice for residents of the territory and the entire Caribbean."
