In this new role, Adams will oversee the assimilation of new acquisitions and joint ventures into Tenet's system, serving as the liaison between new operations, the company's acquisitions and development team, corporate functional leaders and regional and market management.

"Expanding our hospital operations through acquisitions and partnerships is a key component of Tenet's growth strategy, and integrating new hospitals into our system is an important and complex process," said Britt Reynolds, president of hospital operations at Tenet. "Tim's extensive operational experience and strong network of relationships across our organization make him the ideal candidate to ensure new acquisitions and ventures are smoothly integrated into our company."

"Tenet has a very large presence in Texas, including in key markets such as Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley," Reynolds said. "Establishing a Texas Region led by a talented and accomplished executive will enhance strategic alignment across some of our largest markets."
