He also assisted with performance improvement and was promoted to vice president of Operations in March 2006.

“Mike has been a tremendous asset to Piedmont Mountainside these past six years, and I am pleased to announce his new role as interim CEO,” said Gregory A.

Under Robertson’s leadership, Piedmont Mountainside Hospital recently completed a $7 million construction project which included expanding the ICU, laboratory, cafeteria and lobby; adding six new beds for the Clinical Decision Unit; and renovations to accommodate other support services. In addition, the MRI unit was established in a permanent in-house location, and a new interventional radiology suite was added.

A Georgia native, Robertson earned his bachelor’s degree in respiratory therapy from the Medical College of Georgia and a master’s of business administration from Shorter College in Rome. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and the Georgia Association of Healthcare Executives. Mike and his wife, Georgette, live in Ball Ground with their two children, Taylor and Will.
