Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare - 2016
Carlos Migoya
President and CEO, Jackson Health System
Migoya, 65, was named president and CEO of the Miami-based public health system in May 2011. Jackson Health operates three acute-care hospitals. During his first year, Jackson Health reported an $8 million surplus, despite an $82 million loss the previous year, achieved in part through staff layoffs and management team restructuring. The system's surplus has continued to grow under Migoya's leadership. In 2013, he led the implementation of the Jackson Miracle-Building Bond program, a 10-year plan that will renovate and expand Jackson's facilities with $1.4 billion in capital funds. Migoya's background is not in healthcare management, but banking. He held top leadership positions at Wachovia National Bank before a brief stint as Miami's city manager.
