Mike Schroyer, president of Baptist Health Floyd, was surprised — and humbled — when he learned he had been selected to receive a prestigious award from the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). The honor, known as the Regent’s Award, recognizes emerging and senior healthcare executive leaders who demonstrate outstanding leadership and service at the regional level.

Schroyer has served as president of Baptist Health Floyd for the past five years and brings more than two decades of executive leadership experience to the role. Prior to joining Baptist Health Floyd, he spent five years as president of the Northeast Region for Ascension Health’s Indiana Market. Over his 24-year career in executive healthcare leadership, advocacy has become a defining part of his work.

“I was nominated for the award, which made it even more meaningful,” Schroyer said. “It was a great surprise and something I’m very humbled by.”

The ACHE divides the country into regions, each overseen by an elected regent who presents annual awards for achievement among emerging leaders and senior executives. Schroyer received the Regent’s Award in recognition of his extensive advocacy efforts with local, state, and federal legislators, including direct work with Indiana lawmakers and the governor’s office.

Schroyer, who is also a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, said advocacy is something he genuinely enjoys and views it as a responsibility of healthcare leadership.

“I do it because I want to make sure that not only Baptist Health Floyd is represented, but healthcare as a whole,” he said. “We’re fighting for our patients, our communities, our providers and staff at a time when there’s a lot of legislation that will impact healthcare for years to come.”

He added that legislators often rely on healthcare leaders to provide real-world insight as they make policy decisions.

“They’ve told me they count on people like us to educate them so they can make sound decisions. That’s why it’s so important that our voices are heard.”

Schroyer’s advocacy work extends through both the Indiana Hospital Association (IHA), which represents hospitals across the state, and the American Hospital Association at the national level.
His involvement with IHA has steadily grown over the years. He began as a member of the quality and safety committee, later branching into additional committees including the Council on Government Relations, Council on Information Management, the Healthcare Solutions Steering Committee and the Political Action Committee. This past year he was Chair of the Council on Information Management. Three years ago, he was nominated to serve on the IHA board and recently received a three-year renewal.
His leadership roles have included service on the government relations and information committees, and in 2026 he will step into a new role as chairman of the IHA Council on Government Relations — an opportunity he says he is especially excited about.

Through these efforts, Schroyer has seen positive results. He has worked closely with legislators and the governor to highlight Baptist Health Floyd’s commitment to lowering healthcare costs while improving quality. Those efforts have helped to position the hospital as a low-cost provider in the eyes of policymakers.

Another major achievement came through recent changes in Medicaid. Baptist Health Floyd applied to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to become a rural regional referral center — a designation that was approved and will help potentially improve reimbursement for the hospital.

This is not Schroyer’s first recognition for advocacy work. Six years ago, he received the American Hospital Association Advocacy Award, underscoring a long-standing commitment to representing healthcare providers and patients.

“I really enjoy what I do,” Schroyer said. “I want to continue representing all of us, and I’m very blessed to have the support of my boss and the Baptist Health System in doing this work.”
