Changing of the Guard
Brian Daley, MD, FACS, MBA, FCCP, CNSP
Under the guidance of Brian Daley, MD, FACS, MBA, FCCP, CNSP the Trauma Center met new goals and achieved national accreditation. Daley, who is stepping down from his role as Trauma Medical Director in 2025, has held that position since 2010. During his tenure Daley held roles with organizations that, through funding or lobbying, impact Trauma Centers around the state. This included serving as chair of the Trauma Care Advisory Council, under the Tennessee Health Facilities Commission. When asked what he enjoyed most about his role as Trauma Medical Director, Daley pointed to guiding the medical center to verification as a Level I Trauma Center under the American College of Surgeons. This is the highest designation available in the country. What’s next for Daley? “Taking on other leadership roles at the medical center and state to continue improving quality across the spectrum of care,” he said.
