We are to announce that Matthew A. Zuino, MSIS, FACHE, has been named the next President and Chief Executive Officer of Baptist Health, effective January 17, 2026.

Matt, who has served as Chief Operating Officer since 2020, will succeed Michael A. Mayo, DHA, FACHE, who announced earlier this year his plans to retire as Baptist Health’s CEO after a distinguished four-decade career in health care leadership.

As COO, Matt oversees operations across hospitals, physician practices and ambulatory services. His leadership continues to shape the future of Baptist Health, elevating quality, strengthening access and enhancing the patient experience.

“This is an exciting, transformational time at Baptist Health,” said Matt. “I feel very fortunate to build upon our 70-year legacy as the area’s only locally headquartered, mission-driven, faith-based health system. Our future will be defined by how well we listen, innovate and accelerate our commitment to those we serve as we look toward 2030 and beyond.”

Changing lives, one ride at a time. 💙 For 50 years, the Beaches Council On Aging’s Dial-A-Ride program has been a lifeline for seniors and adults with disabilities across the Beaches community - helping them get to medical appointments, stay active, and live independently.

We’re to support this incredible program by helping add a fifth wheelchair-accessible van to their fleet - expanding access for those who might otherwise be homebound. 🚐

“We say in our program this is a lifeline,” said Lori Delgado Anderson, executive director of Beaches Council on Aging. “We are getting people to the medical appointments they need to stay healthy.”

For many riders living on limited incomes, these rides are about more than transportation - they’re a connection to community, wellness, and independence.

The results are in! 🎉 We’re proud to recognize three outstanding caregivers at who have been honored with this year’s Spirit of Magnet Awards.

This year’s theme, “The Power of Caring,” celebrates those who go above and beyond to deliver compassionate, collaborative and exceptional care — and no one embodies that spirit more than our three honorees:

🏆 Shannon Healey – Nurse of the Year
🏆 Jenna Eaton – Caregiver of the Year

We’re to say congratulations to Eric on being named a LOTUS Award winner for his outstanding work! 🏆 Eric oversees hospital imaging and cardiac services, and he was nominated by our very own hospital president, Jarret Dreicer.
