Founding Board Member Emeritus Recognized globally as a healthcare industry pioneer, Clayton McWhorter was as a charter member of the ProxsysRx board of directors — and served the company faithfully until the time of his death. “Clayton was truly a visionary, and we are honored to have had the opportunity to work alongside him. He was a trusted advisor, always bringing keen insights and new ideas to the table. He was also a treasured friend,” remembers ProxsysRx founder and CEO George B. Salem. “Clayton’s leadership and passion for improving the entire healthcare system distinguished him as a true game-changer. He was one-of-a-kind, and we are privileged to have known him. We miss him dearly.” McWhorter was Founder, Chairman and CEO of HealthTrust, Inc., and former Chairman of Hospital Corporation of America (NYSE: HCA).

Another of McWhorter’s creations, HealthTrust, was a renowned healthcare industry success story.
