PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - President and CEO of Baptist Health Paducah, Larry Barton, will retire in October after overseeing more than two decades of expansion and progress in local healthcare.

“Without question, my 21 years at Baptist Health Paducah have been the most rewarding of my career,” he said.

Barton’s retirement is effective Oct. 4, 2013, according to his letter to Stephen Hanson, CEO of the Baptist Health system headquartered in Louisville.

“Larry consistently has responded to the needs of Western Kentucky residents with advanced technology and significant investments in quality services,” Hanson said. “He is dedicated to patients’ needs, never forgetting that how we treat patients is just as important as the tools we use to deliver that care. Fortunately, Paducah and its surrounding communities have been blessed with a strong focus on both these needs under Larry’s leadership.”
