The WellStar Hospital in Roswell has a new president.

Jon-Paul Croom was recently named president of WellStar North Fulton and he will oversee day-to-day operations at the hospital.

“I am excited to join the North Fulton community,” Croom said in a statement. “WellStar North Fulton Hospital has done great work to care for our patients. The hospital has made great progress over the past year as part of WellStar. I look forward to continuing to improve the health of our patients and their community.”

Croom joins the hospital as it celebrates one year as part of WellStar Health System, the largest health system in Georgia.

Before joining WellStar, Croom served as CEO for the 429-bed Central Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. There, Croom was regarded as a team builder, using daily team huddles focused on delivering care that exceeded patient expectations while working to improve access to needed services. Croom opened the only burn center in Mississippi and increased the availability of inpatient psychiatric services at the facility.

Croom previously worked at the Clearview Regional Medical Center in Monroe, Georgia and received his bachelor’s degree from Mercer University.
