SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital-Jefferson City has named Justin Morley as the new vice president of operations.
Morley is filling the role after Becky Miller retired last year.
For the past five years, Morley served at the SSM Health System office as the vice president of operations.
During his time at the system office, he shaped and implemented SSM Health’s Operating Model and founded the idea behind the company’s Clinical Recruitment Team, according to a news release.
“My roots were grounded in hospital operations from the beginning of my career in the supply chain. I’ve always loved the connection between the work we do with the patients and communities we serve,” Morley said. “St. Mary’s Hospital and the wonderful caregivers here have a rich history of caring for those in need. I’m honored to work alongside some of the best individuals and teams as we continue our story of presence and excellence in everything we do.”
In his role, Morley will have responsibility for multiple departments, including the inpatient pharmacy, information technology, safety and security and much more.
Before his career at SSM Health, he held several leadership positions with Intermountain Health in two different regions and at its system office.
