Terrence Shirley, MPH, is an experienced healthcare administration leader. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Shirley worked for eight years as Administrator of the Cancer Institute at the University of Miss. Medical Center (UMMC) and has been active in the health care industry since 1980. In addition to working at UMMC in various leadership roles since the late 1990s, Mr. Shirley has extensive experience as a director of federally supported community health centers and state-level public health services in the southeast. A few of the operational leadership positions he has held include: Region 4 Health Officer for Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services in Tampa FL;  President/CEO of the Tampa Community Health Centers Inc., Interim-President/CEO, Tampa General Healthcare; and Administrator for Clinical Support Services, Ambulatory Operations, Radiation Oncology, and the UMMC Cancer Institute.

In addition to operational leadership positions, he has served in governance leadership positions that include local, state, regional and national task forces, coalitions, and boards and currently serves on the Jackson Preparatory School board of directors.

Mr. Shirley calls his appointment as CEO to the Association a homecoming. In the early days of the Community Health Center Association of Mississippi’s establishment in the mid-1980s, Mr. Shirley assisted the Director in coordinating activities to meet the various educational, programmatic,  and political needs of Mississippi’s community health centers.

Mr. Shirley has a Master of Public Health from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Southern Mississippi.

I serve as the Chief Operating Officer. In this capacity, my goal is to ensure CHCAMS’s work is focused on the needs of our member community health centers (CHCs).  I collaborate with the CEO in setting and driving organizational vision, strategy, operations, and reporting. Setting a tone for professionalism, collaboration, and accountability, providing leadership and mentorship to a dynamic and energetic team at PCA, including helping to create staff development plans and ensuring that all staff members have the resources they need to succeed. Analyze internal operations and identify areas for improvement (e.g., technology, product development, and innovation); develop consistent processes and systems.

I work with the CEO and Executive Team to develop, implement, and manage the ongoing strategy of PCA. Set annual performance goals and the organizational planning and evaluation processes in collaboration with the CEO and Executive team. Oversee the full range of financial and accounting functions and systems so that all financial planning, budgeting, reporting, and analyses provide meaningful information for management and Board decision-making. Oversee the Human Resources function to identify, develop, and retain top talent while ensuring that all HR support systems (e.g., policies, compensation, benefits) are fair, progressive, reflect best practices, and are in compliance with local/state regulatory bodies.

As the Chief Financial Officer, I am responsible for all aspects of the organization’s financial health.  This includes oversight of the Accounting System, Cash Management and Grant Draws, Budgets, Annual Audits, Grant Financial Compliance, Internal Controls, and adherence to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in all financial transactions.  I also provide special reports as requested and am responsible for ensuring adequate insurance policies are in place and all necessary filings, both state and federal, are completed and filed in a timely manner.  Additionally, I work with the other C-Suite members troubleshooting problems as they arise, reviewing/revising company policies and participate in discussions on the expanding role of the organization and how we can provide a roadmap for success.

The goal and role of Emergency Preparedness at CHCAMS is to coordinate and prepare all Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) with all hazard disaster planning, community education, training, response, and recovery efforts to prepare and protect their patient population before, during, and after natural and man-made disasters. This involves coordinating with internal teams, external partners, and government agencies to ensure community health centers respond effectively to emergency situations and other unforeseen events. In addition, I provide Emergency Management technical assistance to members through workshops, webinars, and conferences, and by conducting critical exercises on emergency plans.

As the Human Resource Manager at CHCAMS, I oversee HR functions, including recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, and staff development, to support our mission of improving healthcare delivery. I collaborate with departments to ensure compliance with HR policies and assist with grant management. My role also involves fostering relationships with health centers and facilitating training to adapt to evolving healthcare needs.
