Whitefoord announced that former Grady Health System senior executive Craig Tindall will join in October as its new Interim Chief Executive Officer. "I am honored to work with the Whitefoord Board and leadership to continue the legacy started by Dr. Brumley and his family 25 years ago," Tindall said.

Tindall comes to Whitefoord with more than 30 years of experience directing the operations of multiple hospital departments within Grady Health System - metropolitan Atlanta's safety net hospital, premier Level 1 Trauma Center, and teaching hospital for Emory and Morehouse Schools of Medicine.

"We are so fortunate to be joined by Craig during an important point in Whitefoord's history, where it is actively working towards expanding health services to families and children Atlanta-wide through its school-based health center work and new Health Center," said Kate Pfirman, Whitefoord's Chief Operating Officer

Tindall has dual master's degrees with an MHA and an MBA from Georgia State University, and was awarded the 2019 Max Holland Distinguished Alumni Award by the GSU Institute of Health Administration.
