Gene C. Milton, FACHE, announced plans to retire at the end of this year after serving 28 years at Hackettsown Regional Medical Center (HRMC), the past 25 as President & CEO.
"Gene has been an incredible force for growth and expansion of medical services at Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, and he's going to be incredibly missed," said William G. Robertson, President & CEO of Adventist HealthCare. "It is very unusual for an individual to serve in the capacity that he has for such a length of time. He has built an organization that provides outstanding care and a wonderful patient experience. I look forward to continuing a long-standing relationship that I've had with him over the last decade as he finds other good things to do for the community where he lives, and I hope for Adventist HealthCare as he provides some service for us even in his retirement years."
As one of Adventist HealthCare's three hospitals, HRMC is a 111-bed, full-service acute care hospital that has won top awards for quality and service from the state of New Jersey and nationally.
When Mr. Milton first came to HRMC in 1982, he served as the hospital's Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer for three years. Prior to that he worked at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, Md., and at Florida Hospital (Fla.). He holds an MBA from Andrews University in Michigan, and is working on completing a Doctor of Leadership degree from the same university.
"Health care has gone through a lot of changes since I joined what was then called Hackettstown Community Hospital," said Mr. Milton. "I can't believe how fast the time has flown by, and the growth that has taken place on our medical campus." The hospital, which opened in 1973 with some 240 employees, now has a staff of more than 900. MORE >
