Baxley graduated from Clemson University in 2005 with a BS in Microbiology. Currently, he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Beaufort Memorial Hospital and has been appointed to serve as a member of the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee (EOC) for the 2024 to 2028 term. Baxley has served in his current position at Beaufort Memorial Hospital for approximately seven and a half years. While under his leadership, the hospital system has increased healthcare access for its community through new urgent care clinics, cancer treatment centers, provider recruitment and the BMH Care Anywhere telehealth app. However, he is most proud of the on-site clinical education and workforce development programs that were made possible through partnerships with the county, city, school district and other local educational institutions. “I am excited to help ensure South Carolina’s students are set up for success and ready to excel in meaningful careers,” said Baxley. “We have the opportunity to not only make a difference in the lives of our school children, but the future of all South Carolinians.”
