The hospital announced the appointment on social media, according to [Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/andrews-permian-regional-medical-center-000217227.html). Davis succeeds Donny Booth, who was removed as CEO in March 2026.\n\n## Courtney Davis Takes Over After Donny Booth's Removal\n\nBooth was removed from the position following a 4-2 vote by members of the district's board. The move came in response to allegations of financial mismanagement, against popular support from longtime medical professionals and hospital staff. The allegations against Booth stem from a failure to communicate a $1 million draw on a line of credit to necessary board members in accordance with financial protocols.\n\nStatements made during public comments at the meeting where Booth was ousted said PRMC saw a revenue increase of $5 million under his leadership between March and September of 2025. Weeks after his removal, the 2025 financial report for the Andrews County Hospital District was released, showing a $35.8 million operating loss. In August, the district proposed a 75 percent increase in its property tax rate, from $0.3138 to $0.55 per $100 of valuation, surpassing the previous voter-approved rate of $0.4085. The tax increase came alongside other options considered to shrink a budget deficit anticipated to surpass $5 million.\n\n## Permian Regional Medical Center's Executive Search\n\nPermian Regional Medical Center initiated an executive search for a new chief executive officer, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The role required an MBA, MHA or graduate degree and either five years of rural healthcare experience or ten years of executive leadership experience. The hospital district operates a Level IV trauma main campus with an emergency department of 7 beds and 1 triage room, a two-bed intermediate care unit, and a Family Birthplace unit with 6 labor, delivery and postpartum rooms, 2 labor rooms, 2 triage beds and 1 nursery. The district's board of directors lists Jessica Varner as president, Carol Boswell as vice president, Manny Gonzales as secretary and Andrea Warnke as assistant secretary.\n\n## Courtney Davis's Start Date\n\nDavis officially begins in the position on November 23, 2026.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
