He has contributed mightily to the growth of Community Health Systems over these 20 years with many of our most notable accomplishments directly attributable to his leadership. David has made a positive and indelible mark on our organization, for which I am personally and forever grateful.”

He joined Community Health Systems in 1997 as a vice president of operations and was subsequently promoted to senior vice president of group operations and then to division president before being named president and chief operating officer. Prior to joining Community Health Systems, Miller worked for two different publicly traded healthcare management companies. He received his bachelor’s degree from Virginia Military Institute and a master’s degree in business administration from the Darden School at the University of Virginia.
