Randy Pirtle, a health administration executive with more than 30 years of experience in the health services field, has been named Blue Ridge Medical Center’s new CEO. He will take the helm this fall.
The news comes just about five months after former Blue Ridge Medical Center CEO Peggy Whitehead announced her retirement.
According to a news release issued by BRMC on Tuesday, Pirtle will begin Oct. 16 after spending about a month transitioning into the role under the guidance of Whitehead, who served the center for more than 25 years. Whitehead will become a grant writer for the agency in October.
