Ted Hamilton MD, MBA

Ted Hamilton, MD, Family Practice. Dr. Hamilton hung that “shingle” at the entrance to his office in the rural mountains of western North Carolina in June 1973. Five years and more than five hundred babies later, he left the mountains to teach family medicine to aspiring young residents at AdventHealth in Orlando. It was there that he discovered an aptitude for medical administration that led him to complete a master’s degree in business and to pursue a career in physician leadership.

Dr. Hamilton has wide experience in medical practice and administration, having worked as executive director for a large academic physician practice plan affiliated with Loma Linda University School of Medicine; medical director for HMO Georgia, a division of Blue Cross and Blue Shield; Chief Medical Officer of Florida Hospital, an eight-campus, 2,000-bed institution; and as medical consultant to Tennessee’s Medicaid program. Along the way, Dr. Hamilton continued part-time clinical work in various acute care settings.
