MOBILE, Ala. – To better serve the healthcare needs of residents in Monroeville and beyond, USA Health’s Nathan Tudor, MBA, FACHE, was recently named chief executive officer of Monroe County Hospital.

In 2021, USA Health and Monroe County Hospital entered into a management services agreement related to the hospital in Monroeville and its related ancillary operations.

Tudor earned a Master of Health Administration degree from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and his MBA from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. Most recently, he was chief executive officer for the MidCoast Health System in El Campo, Texas, where he was recognized in 2020 with a pioneer award from the Texas Hospital Association. For five consecutive years, he was named to the Becker’s Hospital Review 40 Under 40 list.

As CEO, Tudor is focusing on strengthening Monroe County Hospital’s services, fostering collaboration among the hospital’s dedicated team members, and ensuring the hospital continues to meet the evolving healthcare needs of community residents.
