Baptist Anderson Regional Medical Center has named Dr. Hatem Mourad as its new chief medical officer. Dr. Mourad will replace Dr. Keith Everett who retired on Feb. 28 after serving as the hospital’s CMO since 2019.
“It is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Mourad to Baptist Anderson’s leadership team as chief medical officer,” said John Anderson, CEO and administrator of Baptist Anderson. “We are so fortunate to have someone with his expertise, respected tenure and connection to our community leading our medical team and advancing quality care for our region.”
Mourad has more than 15 years of experience in hospital medicine, health care leadership and medical administration and has worked as a hospitalist at Baptist Anderson since 2009. He concurrently held positions with Keystone Healthcare Partners as chief medical officer and vice president of business development (2023 until 2026) and director of hospital medicine/VP of business development (2016 to 2023). He also held medical director positions with Coastal Urgent Care, Ascension Sacred Heart Bay Hospital, Compassus Hospice and Grifols Plasma Biological Services.
Dr. Mourad has worked alongside Dr. Everett for a number of months to ensure a seamless transition of the role.
“I am grateful to Dr. Everett for his dedication and support of Baptist Anderson,” said Anderson. “He came out of retirement from private practice for this position in 2019 and has made many great contributions to the hospital since that time. He is an incredible leader and trusted advisor, and I wish him a happy and long retirement.”
