Mercy Southeast will bolster its leadership team with the addition of Bryan Buckley as the new vice president of ancillary services.
Starting this month, Buckley will oversee a variety of services including laboratory, rehabilitation, imaging, public safety, environmental services and food services, among others.
Buckley brings a wealth of experience to Mercy Southeast, with 16 years as a registered nurse specializing in critical care and emergency department settings. Since 2017, he’s been in leadership positions, overseeing various services including critical care, medical-surgical, vascular access, rapid response, and inpatient and outpatient wound care.
“Joining Mercy – renowned for its exceptional customer service, care quality, and patient experience – was a significant draw for me,” Buckley said. “I’m excited to delve deeper into the organization, contribute to its growth and deliver exceptional services to the community. The leadership team at Mercy Southeast impressed me, and I’m eager to foster strong relationships within this team to establish our hospital as the premier health care provider serving southeast Missouri.”
Buckley recently relocated to Cape Girardeau from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with his wife, Michelle, and their 10-year-old twins, Brooks and Mackenzie, while their oldest daughter, Madison, is beginning her freshman year at the University of Southern Mississippi. In his free time, he enjoys golfing.
Buckley earned a bachelor’s in nursing from Alcorn State University in Alcorn, Mississippi. During his previous leadership roles, his interest in hospital administration grew. He then earned a Master of Health Care Administration from The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
