William M. Gracey, chairman of the board of directors for Brentwood, Tenn.-based Quorum Health, the 31-hospital spinoff of Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems, resigned, the health system announced March 23.
The health system said Mr. Gracey resigned "due to other professional and personal commitments." In addition to his role as board chairman, he also served as a member of Quorum's compensation and governance and nominating committees.
