ChristianaCare Hospital President Hicks Named CEO of ACP

LeRoi Hicks, MD, is departing Wilmington, Delaware-based ChristianaCare after 12 years to become executive vice president and CEO of the American College of Physicians, according to Becker's Hospital Review. Hicks announced the move in a June 11 LinkedIn post, writing that he was "deeply grateful" for the chance to serve at the health system.

Hicks most recently led ChristianaCare's Wilmington Hospital as its president. His shift from a hospital operating role to the helm of one of the largest physician membership organizations marks a notable move from delivery-side leadership to professional advocacy and policy. The ACP represents internal medicine physicians and subspecialists and shapes clinical guidelines, payment positions, and workforce priorities.

For ChristianaCare, the exit opens a leadership gap at one of its flagship hospitals. For the ACP, recruiting a sitting hospital president signals continued interest in leaders who understand frontline operations and care delivery, not just association management.
