Alan Levine, of Tallahassee, Florida, recently served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Broward Health, one of the largest not-for-profit public healthcare systems in the nation. During his tenure as CEO, he initiated two of the largest tax cuts in nearly three decades, leading to the best financial performance in Broward Health's history. He also worked to receive two bond rating upgrades from the largest national rating agencies, and improved patient satisfaction by as much as twenty eight percent in some service areas. Levine also led the effort to acquire the world’s leading cancer technology center, also recruiting a highly touted team of physicians from Harvard University to implement the program. Broward Health's turnaround was recently highlighted as a cover story for Smart Business Magazine.

Previously, Levine served as Secretary of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration from 2004 to 2006, overseeing more than 30,000 health care facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and health care clinics. He also managed Florida’s Medicaid program, with a budget of more than $16 billion.

Levine also produced significant results through initiatives to crack down on fraud, waste and abuse, increasing recoveries from third parties by 57 percent and increasing cost avoidance by 54 percent; and nearly tripling the number of providers placed on prepayment review. Additionally, Levine helped lead Florida’s hospital and health care system’s response to eight hurricanes – a response which is now being touted across the nation; and he led Governor Jeb Bush’s efforts to reform the medical liability system in Florida.

Levine formerly served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Health Policy Advisor to Governor Jeb Bush, and also as the Chief Executive Officer of South Bay Hospital in Sun City Center, Florida from 2000 to 2003. Before that, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of Doctors’ Memorial Hospital in Perry, Florida, the Chief Operating Officer of Tallahassee Community Hospital, the Vice President of Operations for Columbia Regional Medical Centers, and the Chief Operating Officer of Bayonet Point/Hudson Medical Center in Hudson, Florida.

Modern Healthcare magazine named Levine one of 30 leaders nationwide likely to have a powerful impact on the future of healthcare in August, 2006, and he was named an “up and comer in American healthcare” in 2005. Levine was also named a “Heavy Hitter in Health Care” by the South Florida Business Journal in 2007. Levine has a Bachelor’s of Science in Health Education and Community Health, a Master’s degree in Health Science, and a Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Florida.
