Drew Grossman, CEO for Baptist Health’s Florida Keys hospitals, will take on an additional role at a neighboring facility.

On March 23, Baptist Health leadership announced several leadership appointments to support continued growth and operations across the health system’s network. One of those appointments included Grossman, who will serve as CEO advisor for the new Baptist Health Sunrise Hospital. 

Grossman will help guide the hospital’s operational framework as construction progresses on the more than $500 million facility, according to Baptist Health. Groundbreaking for Sunrise Hospital recently took place, and the facility is scheduled to open in early 2029.

Grossman will continue in his current role as CEO for Fishermen’s Community Hospital in Marathon and Mariners Hospital in Tavernier, while taking on this additional responsibility. He was hired as CEO for the two Keys hospitals on Feb. 25, 2021, following the departure of Rick Freeburg. 

Glenn Waters, Baptist Health executive vice president and chief operating officer, said he’s confident Grossman will continue building on the strong foundation across the health system in South Florida while serving the health care needs of the communities.

The new Sunrise hospital, a seven-story, 340,000-square-foot facility located on a 26-acre parcel of land where Oakland Park Boulevard meets the Sawgrass Expressway, is expected to be open in 2029.
