Before LifePoint, David was executive vice president of Fresenius Medical Care North America and chief executive officer in the East Division of Fresenius Medical Care Services. He also was chief financial officer, treasurer & executive vice president at Renal Care Group, Inc., leading finance for a publicly traded company before reaching the age of 40, and an audit manager at Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Appointments, Honors, and Accomplishments

David has driven many vital milestones that have shaped LifePoint and our industry:

The launch of our National Quality Program

David has been a champion of quality care and patient safety and his support of our National Quality Program has ensured that quality is a way of life at LifePoint, encompassing everything we do. This program was recognized with the 2017 John M. Eisenberg Award for Innovation in Patient Safety at the Local Level, which acknowledges major achievements in healthcare quality and patient safety.

LifePoint was the first investor-owned health system to earn an Eisenberg Award. Our National Quality Program was selected because it drove a more than 60 percent improvement in aggregate patient safety.

The creation of our joint venture with Duke University Health System: Duke LifePoint Healthcare. This first-of-its-kind relationship between a for-profit health system and academic medical center has grown to include 14 facilities in 4 states. It has set a new standard for collaboration in healthcare and paved a foundation for LifePoint’s relationships with organizations including Norton Healthcare, LHC Group, and UW Medicine.

Our growth as a diversified healthcare delivery network

LifePoint changed its name from LifePoint Hospitals to LifePoint Health in 2015 in recognition of our evolution from a hospital system to a healthcare company with operations across the care continuum. This transformation was further strengthened by David’s leadership through LifePoint’s merger with RCCH HealthCare Partners in 2018 and acquisition of Kindred Healthcare in 2021. The company has grown from a 23-hospital system to a healthcare leader with 65 community hospital campuses, 30+ rehabilitation and behavioral health hospitals, and 170+ additional sites of care.

Beyond LifePoint, David is on the boards of the Federation of American Hospitals, Nashville Health Care Council, American Heart Association’s Greater Southeast Affiliate, and Murray State University Foundation. He has shaped the future of healthcare through participation on other boards including the

American Hospital Association’s David has been celebrated as one of Modern Healthcare’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare and received the prestigious national Gold Award, along with other American Heart Association board members, for work saving and improving Tennesseans’ lives. He also received a Distinguished Alumni award from Murray State University.

PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION TO SPEAK TO THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

How has the nominee served as a role model or mentor within the health care community?

As a devoted family man dedicated to his faith, David demonstrates great leadership to those around him every day. He has always been incredibly mission-driven, and as a longstanding board member for Kids Across America, David empowers and educates inner-city youth – just as he empowers his colleagues every day. David excels at connecting the work that people across healthcare do — whether they are a nurse, an accountant or a food services worker — to the health and wellbeing of our patients and communities. He demonstrates the importance of listening to and connecting with those around you and always being open to new ideas. He constantly acknowledges the hard work of others and is quick to share appreciation for both big and small ideas and actions. He stands shoulder to shoulder with his teams –rolling up his sleeves to help resolve challenges and unload boxes at Second Harvest Food Bank.

David gives his time willingly to those within LifePoint and beyond its walls. He has attended Q&A sessions for Leadership Healthcare, Nashville Business Journal, Lipscomb University, the Federation of American Hospitals and Becker’s Hospital Review. He has given interviews with outlets from HealthLeaders to Dr. Bill Frist’s Second Opinion podcast on diverse issues from lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic to creating quality-driven cultures.

David champions people. As chair of the board of the Nashville Health Care Council, David is leading endeavors to create a more equitable and inclusive healthcare landscape. At LifePoint, he has engaged our leadership team in an intensive training program that ultimately led to the creation of a DEI leadership position, the completion of an enterprise-wide DEI assessment and the creation of a powerful DEI vision statement.

David has ensured that LifePoint is committed to creating an inclusive, community-based healthcare delivery system that provides equitable opportunities for all people. We are achieving this through training and education of our workforce, targeted efforts to address health equity in our communities, and the recruitment and development of diverse talent.

How has the nominee demonstrated the utmost professional and ethical conduct?

David’s constant message to those around him is “always do the right thing.” He believes wholeheartedly that, if a person or company focuses on doing the right thing – even if this isn’t always the easy or profitable thing – success will follow.

This focus came to life during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recognition of the toll that the pandemic was having on our teams across the nation, David oversaw the launch of LifePoint’s CORE Crisis Initiative, which was designed to give employees access to resources and support during the pandemic including COVID-19 sick pay, child and elder care stipends, LifeCare Disaster Recovery Fund, pay for employees on leave, Employee Assistance Program to abate the mental and emotions toll of COVID-19, among other initiatives.

David’s leadership and dedication to always doing what is right, and courage to empower teams to do the same have seen LifePoint through the pandemic and has been a guiding light for other organizations across the nation.

How has the nominee made a significant impact/lasting contribution to the health care industry on a local, state, national or international level?

Beyond his work to advance LifePoint’s mission of Making Communities Healthier, David has been an important voice for healthcare – for both patients and those who care for them. As someone who grew up in a small community, David has a unique understanding of healthcare providers in these areas and the vital role they play in communities’ overall health and economic development and vitality. With these insights, he has helped to educate the industry on shaping policies that ensure that the needs of all healthcare providers – from those in large urban areas to those in small rural communities – are met.

David has encouraged cross-system collaboration. For example, he was among the industry leaders invited to the White House in April 2020 to announce the creation of the Dynamic Ventilator Reserve, a private-public partnership sharing vital resources during the pandemic.

David also is driving innovation that will shape the future of our industry. LifePoint Forward is an innovation strategy that is helping us to identify, invest in, and build innovative solutions that advance quality, improve access and lower costs within our communities and beyond. This strategy is driven by relationships with innovators such as Eon, Cadence and Loyal and a joint venture with New York-based venture studio 25madison and Apollo Global Management. This collaboration has launched a first-of- its-kind healthtech startup incubator in Nashville, called 25m Health, which will be the central innovation engine for building new companies that bring innovative ideas and solutions to fruition across healthcare for decades to come.

Dear Nomination Committee,

I am pleased to support the nomination of David Dill to the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame. David has been an important voice in Tennessee healthcare for more than two decades. I can attest to his steadfast dedication to improving healthcare locally and ensuring that all people have access to the best possible care.

A spirit of collaboration is one of David’s true strengths. He continually seeks to pull together the best minds to solve a problem. And then with great humility, he shares beyond his inner circle – and beyond the walls of LifePoint. To him, it isn’t about getting the credit. It’s about spurring ideas, partnerships and innovations that advance the quality of care provided to all people – both those within our local community as well as across the United States.

Through his engagement in the Nashville Health Care Council, David has overseen the initiation of an important diversity, equity and inclusion effort that will, hopefully, continue to engage leaders across our region toward achieving a shared mission of inspiring a healthcare ecosystem that embraces the values of diversity and inclusion in pursuit of equitable, high-quality outcomes

Through partnerships such as the recently launched 25m Health venture studio, David is inspiring a different kind of collaboration and fostering the creation of healthtech innovators that are developing promising technologies that will shape the future of healthcare.

David Dill has been a champion of healthcare in Tennessee – of the organizations, institutions and businesses that fuel the industry and of the patients we ultimately serve. He has built bridges and new infrastructures that will influence healthcare in our state for decades to come and would be an excellent addition to the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame.

Sincerely,

Dear Health Care Hall

of

Fame Selection Committee,

I enthusiastically support the nomination of David Dill, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LifePoint Health, for inclusion in the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame David’s leadership, impact on our industry and dedication to quality care make him deserving of this great honor.

I have worked with David since he joined LifePoint in 2007 and during that time he has not only been a great advocate in Washington, DC, for hospitals and healthcare systems, but he has also represented with distinction Nashville’s influential healthcare industry. There is no doubt that his career efforts have had an impact on the people of Tennessee and the entire nation.

David’s passion for providing high-quality, patient-centered care in communities through a national network of hospitals and health systems has driven LifePoint’s success and positioned him as an influential national healthcare leader. A native of a small town himself, David has a first-hand understanding of the healthcare challenges and opportunities in the communities LifePoint serves.

As the Federation’s 2020 chairman, he devoted untold hours to guiding our Board during a profoundly challenging time, as the nation faced the COVID-19 pandemic, a contentious election and social turmoil. This leadership has been recognized by his peers, the broader Federation membership and various members of Congress and the White House In the past year alone, David has advocated for policies to increase healthcare coverage, reduce regulatory burdens and improve community-based healthcare. As COVID-19 resulted in unprecedented state and Congressional activity, David was invested and engaged as a voice for healthcare and for those we serve.

His distinct insight and experience position David to educate industry, state and federal public officials, contributing to policies that acknowledge the perspectives of all healthcare providers – from urban centers to rural communities. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, David’s clarity of vision for providing excellent care close to home and supporting the employees and clinicians on the front lines of the pandemic steered LifePoint’s course and influenced industry perspectives. One example of this support is how David protected jobs at

LifePoint, ensuring that the company did right by the healthcare workers serving heroically in communities in Tennessee and across the U.S. This contributed to LifePoint’s culture of care, underscoring LifePoint’s faith in and gratitude for its capable workforce.

In addition, David has been a strong voice for diversity, equity and inclusion – leading efforts to examine LifePoint’s role in creating equitable environments of care, and engaging organizations in which he is involved, including the Federation, to look within and affirm our roles in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

David personifies leadership in our industry and continues to show officials inside the Beltway the importance of Tennessee’s entrepreneurial spirit to our overall healthcare landscape. I have no doubt he will continue to be an essential voice for years to come Without question, David Dill deserves to be included in the Tennessee Health Care Hall of Fame.

Sincerely,
