Lydia Hendrix is the new chief operating officer of UF Health St. John's in St. Augustine, Fla.
UF Health St. John's was previously known as Flagler Health+, until it was acquired and renamed by Gainesville-based UF Health in September.
Ms. Hendrix joins the health system from Advent Health East Orlando (Fla.), which consists of a 319-bed hospital and two freestanding emergency departments, according to a Dec. 18 news release from UF Health. While there, she served as the system's vice president and chief nursing officer.
