McGill has been named the next president and chief executive officer of Community Health Network. Based in Indianapolis, the health system operates 10 hospitals and more than 200 healthcare locations.

He will begin serving as CEO on Jan. 1, 2026. The network announced the appointment of McGill last week.

McGill has served as executive vice president and the system’s chief transformation officer. He has focused on upgrading the system’s technology and leading initiatives in value-based care and health equity.

Rafael A. Sanchez, chair of the system’s board of directors, said McGill was selected after an extensive national search.

“The Board considered candidates from across the country and Dr. McGill emerged as the clear choice to lead us forward. His clinical expertise, strategic vision, and deep commitment to innovation and equity make him uniquely qualified to serve as CEO,” Sanchez said in a statement.

McGill succeeds Bryan Mills, who announced his retirement earlier this year, wrapping up a career of more than 40 years.

“I am honored and humbled to step into the role of President and CEO,” McGill said in a statement. “Community Health Network is more than a healthcare system. It’s a mission-driven organization rooted in compassion, innovation and service. I look forward to working with our exceptional team to build on our legacy and shape the future of care for the communities we serve.”
