Albert E. Holt

Albert E. Holt, IV, MD, MBA, joined HCA Florida Memorial Hospital as its Chief Medical Officer in July of 2020. Dr. Holt comes to the hospital from the Inova Health System in Falls Church, Virginia, where he was the system medical director for adult critical care for the past five years. He led a team of 60 critical care physicians and Advanced Practice Professionals (with specialists in cardiac critical care, neurocritical care and ECMO). He directed the tele-ICU program and the system-wide sepsis program that achieved recognition for reducing absolute mortality among sepsis patients from 16% to 9%.

Dr. Holt earned his medical degree at University of Connecticut School of Medicine and completed his internal medicine training at Vanderbilt University, his critical care fellowship at the National Institute of Health (NIH) and his master’s in medical management at Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. Holt began his career in private practice in Boston, where he then went on to develop a successful hospitalist program before returning for additional critical care training at NIH. He has also held numerous leadership positions in national healthcare companies, some of whom were private equity owned healthcare companies that are now part of larger publicly held companies, like Abbott Labs, United Healthcare and McKesson.

In these various leadership roles, Dr. Holt led high-performing teams comprised of physicians and other clinicians who provided care to patients in disease management, oncology care and catastrophic at-risk care for burns, multi-trauma, spinal cord injury and brain injury.

He enjoys working with exceptional colleagues striving to provide the best care possible and helping those around him to achieve their greatest potential.
