In a planned leadership transition that reflects internal succession planning and continuity, Michael A. Mayo, DHA, FACHE announced yesterday that he would be retiring from Baptist Health Jacksonville after a transformative four-year tenure as President and CEO.

Michael has guided the organization through significant growth, major technological advances, and transformational initiatives within the organization and in the community, aligned with the health system’s mission and strategic plan, which prioritizes people, quality and the careful management of resources to serve others and sustain long-term impact.

“This announcement of my retirement and transition timeline is part of an intentional, multi-year succession and leadership development process that I have worked on with our Board for a very long time,” said Dr. Mayo. “From the moment I became CEO, it was clear that a long-term, structured succession strategy would help ensure Baptist Health would be well prepared with a pipeline of senior leadership for the future.”

Dr. Mayo will step down as CEO on January 16, 2026 and transition into a more narrowly-focused Executive-in-Residence (EIR) role. The Baptist Health Board of Directors, working in conjunction with Dr. Mayo, have already begun the selection process for the new CEO with a goal of naming an internal successor before the end of 2025.

As Michael prepares for a much-deserved retirement, he looks forward to enjoying some of his greatest passions — traveling with his wife, continuing to teach at the University of North Florida, and of course, riding his Harley. Our entire team owes him a debt of gratitude for his tireless work across our health system and our community. Thank you for all that you’ve done, Dr. Mayo!

As APP Week wraps up, we’re taking a moment to recognize the vital role Advanced Practice Providers play at Baptist Nassau and in our community.

The APP family includes:

🔹 Physician Assistants (PAs)
🔹 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs)
🔹 Anesthesiology Assistants (AAs)
🔹 Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)
🔹 Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs)

From providing primary care to managing chronic conditions, assisting in surgeries to ensuring safe anesthesia, APPs make a difference in every corner of health care and the Baptist Health Jacksonville system. Their advanced training allows them to diagnose, treat, prescribe, and educate patients - helping to expand access to care and improve health outcomes in our communities.

This APP Week, we proudly celebrate and thank our APPs for their expertise, compassion and dedication.
