Michael Scherneck Retiring
Michael D. Scherneck, president and chief executive officer, has announced he will retire from Southeast Georgia Health System in early 2022. Scherneck has spent nearly two decades in leadership roles with the Health System, including more than 12 years as the executive vice president and chief financial officer. He was appointed to his current position by the Health System’s Board of Directors in 2015. “Mike has positioned the Health System well for the future and guided us through some extraordinary times, including three hurricanes and a global pandemic,” says Kay Hampton, incoming chair, Southeast Georgia Health System, Inc. “We are very appreciative of his leadership. During a time when many hospitals are struggling or scaling back services, the Health System has remained financially secure and able to meet our community’s health needs.” A significant highlight of Scherneck’s tenure includes the $142 million Master Renovation and Expansion Project of its Brunswick Campus, launched in 2018.
