He serves on multiple boards, including the Indiana Health Information Exchange and SIHO Insurance Services, and has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as an inspiring Chief Transformation Officer in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Dr. McGill succeeds Bryan Mills, who announced his retirement earlier this year after more than 40 years of dedicated service.
