BayCare names new president for St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa

TAMPA — BayCare Health System on Monday named Nate Malcom as the new president of St. Joseph’s Hospital, the nonprofit’s largest Hillsborough County facility.

Malcolm’s tenure took effect immediately. He previously worked as a vice president of operations for Advocate Aurora Health and has two decades of hospital leadership experience, according to BayCare. His tenure in Chicago included management of three hospitals with Level 1 trauma centers totaling 1,300 beds, a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit and a comprehensive stroke center.

He will replace Kimberly Guy, who in addition to leading St. Joseph’s is already serving as senior vice president and market leader for BayCare’s Hillsborough County hospitals.

“We’re thrilled to have Nate join St. Joseph’s Hospital and BayCare,” Guy said. “His experience, mission focus and leadership will help achieve our hospital objectives across the system and throughout our competitive market.”

With 615 beds, St. Joseph’s is one of the largest of BayCare’s 15 hospitals across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties. It was ranked in the Merative Top 100 hospitals this year.

Malcom’s appointment comes during a time of transition for BayCare.

Longtime chief executive officer and president Tommy Inzina is retiring at the end of this year after 25 years with the nonprofit. In August, BayCare announced Stephanie D. Conners, a health care executive from Philadelphia, would replace Inzina.
