Jeremiah Kirkland has been selected to serve as the next President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital. He will assume this new role on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. Jeremiah will continue to serve as President and COO of Bethesda Butler Hospital and Senior Executive for TriHealth Women’s Services. 

This appointment enables TriHealth to leverage Jeremiah’s strong leadership of Bethesda Butler while fostering greater cultural and operational collaboration and new synergies between Bethesda Butler and McCullough-Hyde. His proven leadership track record at Butler and across TriHealth, passion for leading positive change, and deep commitment to and mastery of our TriHealth Way culture, values and behaviors make him the clear choice to lead McCullough-Hyde.

In his role leading Butler and McCullough-Hyde, Jeremiah will report to John Ward, Senior Vice President of Regional Operations for the Bethesda North Region. He will continue to report to Marla Silliman, Senior Vice President of Regional Operations for the Good Samaritan Region, in his role as the leader of Women’s Services.

Since joining TriHealth in 2018 as Executive Director for Women’s Services, Jeremiah has excelled in progressively more responsible leadership roles across our system. Through his commitment to innovation, service and fostering relationships and trust from patients, team members, physicians and the broader community, he has helped bring our mission to life in real and meaningful ways. He has served as Director of Operations for Bethesda North Hospital; guided TriHealth’s mission-critical Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) work as Interim Chief Diversity Officer; led Good Samaritan Hospital at Evendale as President and COO from 2021 until its transition to Beacon Orthopedics earlier this year; and, since 2022, has served as President and COO of Bethesda Butler Hospital.

Jeremiah’s passion for cultivating our next generation of leaders and addressing DEIB through his work resulted in the creation of TriHealth’s innovative School to Work program. Modeled after his own experience having graduated from a similar program, Jeremiah helped launch TriHealth’s inaugural School to Work cohort in 2019 – providing Cincinnati Public School (CPS) juniors and seniors the opportunity to gain real-world healthcare experience, earn a paycheck and receive academic credit as they work beside Good Samaritan Hospital team members. Funded by bi3, CommonSpirit and TriHealth, the program has succeeded in providing transformative experiences to more than 100 CPS students, while building a “pipeline” for School to Work students to pursue higher education and future careers in healthcare.
