Brentwood, Tenn. (June 14, 2011) – King’s Daughters Medical Center, Chief Executive Officer, Alvin Hoover received the highest honor for a hospital CEO in the US by being named “CEO of the Year” by Quorum Health Resources (QHR).

Quorum Health Resources (QHR) is the nation’s largest hospital management company and the seventh largest healthcare consulting firm in the United States.

Hoover cited Isaiah 26:12 in concluding remarks; “Lord, you establish peace for us. All that we have accomplished, you have done for us.” I would like to think that I have some talent and ability to lead and to take a little credit for it, but that verse says that whatever it is that I have done, the Lord has done it for me. He deserves the credit.”
