Major Health Partners (MHP) proudly unveiled a commemorative plaque Monday on its campus to honor the remarkable legacy of former President and CEO John “Jack” Horner.
Spanning four decades of service from 1985 to 2025, Horner’s leadership, compassion, and vision profoundly shaped both MHP and the broader Shelby County community.
He led with heart and purpose, consistently prioritizing what was best for patients, staff, and the community. With a servant’s heart and deep commitment to uplifting others, Horner’s tenure was defined by visionary thinking and a drive for meaningful change. His work helped improve countless lives through initiatives focused on social drivers of health and patient-centered care.
Horner played a pivotal role in the development of major community resources including the MHP Medical Center, the MHP Community Health and Wellness Center/YMCA, and the Sue Ann Wortman Nephrology Center. He also spearheaded the successful implementation of one of the first electronic medical record systems in a community hospital, revolutionizing patient care and safety.
Horner’s leadership has shaped the course of healthcare in Shelby County and will continue to inspire MHP and its mission for years to come.
