CEO, UVA COMMUNITY HEALTH, MANASSAS

Shannon has overseen this division of UVA Health since 2021, starting as an interim chief executive and then as permanent CEO. With about 2,700 employees, UVA Community Health includes three Northern Virginia hospitals — Prince William Medical Center, Haymarket Medical Center and Culpeper Medical Center — as well as an integrated network of medical practices, cancer care and outpatient services. The university health system acquired Novant Health UVA Health in 2021, after running the system as a joint venture.
Shannon has more than three decades in health care and was a partner at Grant Thornton, where he helped lead the transition to integrate UVA Community Health into UVA Health.
In January, UVA Health announced a $2 million donation from The Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation to support the Prince William Medical Center’s mother-baby unit upgrades. Plans include incorporating new clinical technology and equipment, like ultraviolet incubators and AI-powered diagnostic tools.
