In a strategic move to bolster its leadership and further its mission of whole-person care, AdventHealth Georgia announced today the appointment of two new C-suite executives: Paris Dukes as chief people officer and Patricia “Trish” Price as chief nursing officer. These key additions underscore the health system’s deep commitment to clinical excellence, a thriving team culture, and service to the communities of Northwest Georgia.

“We are thrilled to welcome Paris and Trish to our leadership team,” said Erik Summers, president and CEO of AdventHealth Gordon and AdventHealth Murray. “Their extensive experience and proven track records within the AdventHealth system make them the ideal leaders to help us continue putting our patients and team members at the center of everything we do. Their expertise will be invaluable as we grow and elevate the standard of health care in our region.”

Paris Dukes Appointed Chief People Officer

Paris Dukes joins the AdventHealth Georgia market as the chief people officer, where she will serve as the senior human resources leader for both AdventHealth Gordon in Calhoun and AdventHealth Murray in Chatsworth. In this role, she will be responsible for fostering a supportive and engaging workplace culture for team members.

Dukes brings a wealth of experience in strategic operations and human resources within the AdventHealth network. She most recently served as the executive director of strategic operations and HR for AdventHealth’s Primary Health Division in Central Florida. Prior to that role, she was the director of human resources and an HR business partner at AdventHealth Fish Memorial in Orange City, Florida.

Trish Price Appointed Chief Nursing Officer

Trish Price, RN, brings over 25 years of dedicated service with AdventHealth to her new role as chief nursing officer for AdventHealth Georgia and AdventHealth Redmond in Rome. She is a proven nursing leader with a distinguished history of driving clinical excellence and improving patient outcomes.

Price most recently served as the chief nursing officer at AdventHealth Ocala, where her transformative leadership was instrumental in dramatically improving the hospital’s performance and reputation. Under her guidance, AdventHealth Ocala achieved significant improvements in clinical outcomes and patient safety grades. Most notably, she spearheaded initiatives that elevated the hospital’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) star rating from one to four stars—a remarkable testament to her focus on quality and safety.

Both Dukes and Price expressed enthusiasm about joining the AdventHealth Georgia team and are eager to begin serving the patients, families, and team members across Northwest Georgia.

“I am inspired by AdventHealth’s mission and am committed to ensuring our team members have the support and resources they need to provide exceptional care and feel fulfilled in their careers,” said Dukes.
