Glenn Robinson served as President of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Hillcrest from 2007 to 2020. Upon his retirement from the role as President in July 2020, Glenn was asked to stay on with Baylor Scott & White in an advisory role, allowing him to remain active in healthcare policy – an area he continues to be passionate about.

Glenn came to Hillcrest from Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he served as CEO of Mary Black Health System. Prior to that, he held CEO positions at a number of other hospitals in Alabama, Oregon, and Texas. Glenn is a graduate of the University of Alabama, but, like all good Georgia boys, still roots for his beloved Bulldogs. He completed his graduate school training at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where he earned a Master of Science in Health Care Administration in addition to a new-found love for a perfectly smoked Texas brisket.

Glenn has more than 30 years experience in hospital and healthcare management, he is board certified in healthcare management, and is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. He also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer for both Baylor University and Trinity University. Glenn has been the recipient of a number of professional awards, including being named to Tenet Healthcare’s CEO Circle of Excellence in two separate years. One of his personal crowning achievements has been developing a technique for cooking the perfect slice of bacon.

Glenn also serves on a number of national and state healthcare policy boards, including the American Hospital Association Board of Trustees. In addition, he serves as Chair of AHA’s Regional Policy Board 7.  He serves as a member of the Texas Hospital Association Board of Trustees, has served as Chairman of both the THA Special Task Force on Medicaid Reform and the Texas Hospital Association’s Council on Policy Development, and currently co-chairs the Texas Hospital Association and Texas Medical Association Joint Task Force on Medicaid.

Glenn previously served as a board member of Pine Cove Christian Camps and Hannah’s Hope Ministries – two non-profit organizations centered on faith initiatives. He also served on the Board of Restoration Gateway – a ministry that operates an orphanage and a 120-bed hospital in rural Uganda. A Past-Chair of the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, Glenn is an active member of the Waco community and has served on a number of boards and advisory councils, including the Prosper Waco Board of Directors.

Glenn and his wife, Rhonda, have three children: Josh and his wife Lauren, Jacob and his wife Melissa, and Sarah Kathryn and her husband Jordan. In his spare time, Glenn is an avid reader and an active member of Harris Creek Baptist Church. Since his retirement, he spends his time traveling with Rhonda to spend time with their five grandchildren – Pierce, Caden, Colt, Annie, and Elijah – and grilling on his Big Green Egg.
