Tim Hill
Tim Hill, vice chancellor for regional campuses at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, has been named the system’s chief operating officer.
As COO, he will serve as a member of the clinical executive leadership team and report to Richard Turnage, senior vice chancellor for clinical programs and CEO of the medical center. Hill will also continue in his role as vice chancellor for regional campuses and report to the chancellor.
“His dual role is an opportunity to link regional campuses more seamlessly with UAMS as a whole and to better define our programs around the state as extensions of all components of our mission,” Chancellor Dan Rahn, who is retiring on July 31, said.
Hill has more than 30 years of experience in health care finance and operational management.
Before joining UAMS, he was president and CEO of Arkansas Heart Hospital. From 1998 to 2009, Hill served as president and CEO of the North Arkansas Regional Medical Center in Harrison.
He joined UAMS in 2011 as director of the UAMS Center for Rural Health. He served as director of the UAMS Center for Healthcare Enhancement and Development from 2013-15.
Then, in 2015, he was appointed vice chancellor for Regional Programs (now Regional Campuses).
In 1982, Hill earned his bachelor’s degree in business, finance and accounting from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The Arkansas Hospital Association named him Administrator of the Year in 1996, when he was running Southwest Hospital in Little Rock, and he was named the A. Allen Weintraub recipient in 2009.
