The Medical Center of Aurora Names Cindy Meyer Chief Operating Officer of

Behavioral Health Services

Aurora, CO, October 17, 2017 --(PR.com)-- HCA/HealthONE's The Medical Center of Aurora (TMCA)
announced that Cindy Meyer has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Behavioral Health
Services at TMCA's Behavioral Health and Wellness Center. In her new role Meyer will continue to lead
operations at TMCA's behavioral health campus as well as behavioral health services across the
HealthONE system. Under Meyer's leadership, The Medical Center of Aurora plans to expand their
behavioral health services into the Centennial area and has future plans to add a number of new services
across the Denver market.

Meyer previously served in the role of Chief Administrative Officer where she led significant program
development and improvement in care for behavioral health patients, including the expansion of services
to include an inpatient adolescent program and numerous partial hospitalization and outpatient programs
and services. She reestablished the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) services at TMCA's North Campus
so patients are able to receive procedural treatment in a dedicated setting. Meyer also led an important
initiative to engage the Aurora community through partnering with Aurora Public Schools for
consultative services and engaging in the development of a pilot program to integrate behavioral health
services more into the community's primary care physician offices.

The Medical Center of Aurora has had a significant impact in the Aurora community and beyond as
they've added much needed behavioral health services to their repertoire. As in many parts of the country,
the demand for mental health services outweighs the availability. Meyer's leadership has been
instrumental in the growth of these services.

Meyer came to TMCA in early 2016 from a leadership role as a Regional Vice President of behavioral
health services in HCA's Capital Division. In her role as RVP, Meyer oversaw the operations of 340
psychiatric beds in over 11 HCA hospitals and was instrumental in developing new services for patients
in numerous communities. The programs that Meyer oversaw received multiple awards and recognitions
from their communities.

Dan Miller, President and CEO of The Medical Center of Aurora and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital
said, Most importantly, Cindy brings a deep and purposeful commitment to patients with behavioral
health needs. She is tenacious in her pursuit of what is right and unwilling to accept what is not. Cindy
has done a tremendous job of removing the stigma of mental health disorders and I am confident that we
will continue to better serve our community each and every day under her leadership.
