NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jay Grinney, president and CEO of HealthSouth, will speak at Vanderbilt Law School about the progress the Birmingham-based health care company has made in restoring its credibility and profitability in the wake of the massive financial scandal uncovered there three years ago.
Grinney’s lecture, “HealthSouth: Lessons Learned,” is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. on Friday, April 14, in the law school’s Flynn Auditorium. It is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Hyatt Fund and the Law & Business Society.
Grinney took the helm at HealthSouth in 2004, a year after founder and CEO Richard Scrushy was fired following a federal investigation that uncovered a $2.7 billion accounting fraud at the company.
Prior to his appointment at HealthSouth, Grinney served in a number of middle and senior management positions with HCA and its predecessor companies, including eight years as president of HCA’s Eastern Group. Prior to HCA, he held several executive positions during a nine-year career at the Methodist Hospital System in Houston, Texas.
HealthSouth is one of the nation’s largest providers of outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitative healthcare services, operating facilities nationwide.
