Baptist Health Selects Conway Campus Administrator

Little Rock-based Baptist Health named Jamie Carter as the new administrator and VP for its forthcoming Conway campus.

Carter, who most recently served as chief operating officer of the 617-bed Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, was named vice president and administrator of Baptist Health Medical Center-Conway on Thursday.

“We are fortunate to have someone with his level of experience joining Baptist Health, and he will be a great fit in the organization,” said Doug Weeks, chief operating officer and executive vice president for Baptist Health.

Carter, a Tennessee native, once served as CEO of Crittenden Regional Hospital in West Memphis. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in commerce, business administration, and health-care administration at the University of Alabama and earned a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Mississippi.

In a press release from Baptist Health, Carter said the fast-growing market in Conway was attractive to him.

“I believe Baptist Health Medical Center-Conway can be one of the hallmarks of patient and family-centered care with the latest technology in Arkansas. I also believe that we can deliver excellent customer service and top performance with patient outcomes,” he said.
