ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 6, 2021 — In a surprise announcement, Daryl Tol, president and CEO of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division, has shared his decision to resign from his leadership role at AdventHealth. No reason for the move has been announced.

Tol was appointed president and CEO of the Central Florida Division in 2015. 

“I want to thank Daryl for his many years of service to AdventHealth and his leadership both to our organization and the communities we serve, especially during the greatest challenge the health care industry has faced in more than a century,” said Terry Shaw, president and CEO of AdventHealth.

“Daryl’s decision was certainly unanticipated and he will be greatly missed. I have valued my working relationship with Daryl and appreciate the many things he has accomplished during his tenure with AdventHealth. I have full confidence in our team to continue to save lives, innovate and help curb the spread of COVID-19 in our community.”

Work is underway to select a permanent replacement within the next few weeks.

“I have been blessed to serve AdventHealth for 20 years and help lead this company in Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ,” added Daryl Tol. “AdventHealth is blessed with strong, capable leaders who will continue this important work into the future.” 

Jennifer Wandersleben, a regional CEO for the Central Florida Division, will provide divisional leadership until a successor is named.
