Brentwood, Tenn. (May 24, 2021) – LifePoint Health®, a leading healthcare company dedicated to Making Communities Healthier®, has expanded its development team with two new vice president appointments. Anthony Belott has been named vice president (VP), in-market development, and Ford Charman has been named VP, development.
“I am delighted that Anthony and Ford have joined LifePoint’s development team,” said Evan Keyser, senior vice president (SVP) and chief development officer for the organization. “Their diversified experiences are a valuable addition to an already strong team, and their expertise will be complementary to our continued efforts to support LifePoint’s strategic growth initiatives. The addition of these two seasoned professionals allows us to hone our focus on the needs of the organization as we consider investments in and around our existing markets and explore entries into new markets.”
In his role, Belott will work closely with division and individual market leadership to identify and execute acquisition and joint venture transactions that complement and enhance the services we provide our communities.
Belott joins LifePoint with a nearly 20-year record of strategic planning and growth opportunity sourcing and execution.
