JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — UF Health has named Patrick L. Green, FACHE, senior vice president and Northeast Florida regional president for a new regional structure encompassing UF Health Jacksonville and UF Health St. Johns. Green has served as CEO of UF Health Jacksonville since July 2023.

Green’s new position is one of three expanded roles within the UF Health system. The other two market regions are Central Florida and Greater Gainesville.

The regional alignment of the UF Health system is an important step designed to help manage the significant expansion of clinical programs, services, and facilities in each of the markets.

“UF Health has entered an exciting new phase as part of our long-term journey to unify our clinical system of care into a cohesive enterprise with a corporate structure that complements our academic and research endeavors,” said Stephen J. Motew, MD, MHA, FACS, president and system CEO of UF Health. “I am confident this change recognizes the wide responsibilities of our leaders at a system level and will help ensure that we reflect the voices and experiences of faculty, community physicians, and staff across the organization, as well as those we collaborate with in the community, leading to a more aligned and patient-centered UF Health focused on clinical excellence.”

Green has successfully collaborated with the city of Jacksonville and other civic and community leaders, and has led major new initiatives in Northeast Florida. Under his leadership, the organization has made significant progress in advancing the mission of UF Health to better serve the communities in the area.

“I am incredibly excited about this new opportunity for the UF Health system as it will allow us to work even closer together to provide the best possible health care services from Flagler and St. Johns counties to Southeast Georgia,” Green said. “UF Health Jacksonville has proudly served the city and surrounding counties for decades, and now collaborating with UF Health St. Johns as part of this regional market — including UF Health Flagler Hospital and the expansion of the UF Health Durbin Park health campus — is exciting for everyone in the region. I look forward to working with our physician colleagues and staff who have dedicated their careers to providing outstanding care to residents across these communities. UF Health will continue to demonstrate our commitment to the growth and development of this great area.”
