Tzanakis most recently served as chief operating officer with HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital, where for two years she was instrumental in the execution and management of $115 million in capital expansion and renovation projects. Projects during her tenure included the addition of two new cardiac catheterization labs and two freestanding emergency rooms. She also played a key role in the operational and emergency management response to Hurricane Ian, a catastrophic category 5 hurricane, which required evacuation of the facility and reconstruction of the third and fourth floors. Tzanakis helped lead the reopen the third and fourth floors and the return of the hospital to full service in less than 100 days. Additionally, Tzanakis has had executive oversight of surgical, procedural, and operational departments and served on the Board of Trustees of the local Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce.

“Lisa is a proven leader at managing large scale projects; her leadership will be essential as we continue to expand to serve our growing community,” said Alan Keesee, chief executive officer of HCA Florida Ocala Hospital. “Her experience in response to Hurricane Ian leveraged the connected network of HCA Healthcare and demonstrated our collective commitment to the care and improvement of human life.
