April 23, 2021
Jeff Gettys of Houston is the new incoming director of the office of projects and foundation at Texas County Memorial Hospital. Gettys will be replacing Jay Gentry, current director of the office of projects and foundation at TCMH, upon his retirement.
Gettys most recently worked as the coordinator of business management at Missouri State University in Springfield. He has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from University of Missouri in Columbia, MO and a master’s degree in Business Administration from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO.
In his time at Missouri State University, Gettys was responsible for overseeing business services on behalf of the second-largest university in the State of Missouri. These responsibilities required Gettys to have a strong attention to detail with an emphasis on strategic planning, administrative oversight, and the ability to foster relationships with donors.
“I was born at Texas County Memorial Hospital and raised in Houston,” Gettys said. “I have strong family ties here and I am pleased to be back in my hometown.”
Gettys explained that he is excited about the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of TCMH and the ever-growing healthcare needs of our communities.
“I am eager to engage with our community leaders to accelerate the advancement of TCMH,” Gettys added. “I look forward to working closely with them as we strive for excellence in providing the best healthcare possible.”
“It’s not often that we have the opportunity to hire someone with the knowledge, experience, and local ties that Jeff has,” Wes Murray, chief executive officer at TCMH, said. “He will be an asset to our hospital and will carry our organization forward.”
Murray noted that Gettys presented a “key opportunity” for the hospital to match abilities and skills that can be utilized to help with the future healthcare needs of TCMH.
Gettys and his wife, Jessica, have three small children, Jenna, 3, Josh, 2, and Jake, 8 months. Gettys loves spending time with his family, playing golf, watching sports, and enjoys the outdoors in his free time.
