PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. โ€” Calvert Health System (CHS) has named Peter Gloggner, SHRM-SCP as vice president for human resources. He comes to CHS โ€“ the countyโ€™s largest private employer, after an impressive 26-year career in health care.

Most recently, he served as vice president and chief human resources officer at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida. While there, Gloggner played a key role in creating a positive workplace culture, which in turn translated into high employee engagement, high patient satisfaction and high quality scores.

Upon joining CalvertHealth, Gloggner said he felt a good connection with the executive team. โ€œItโ€™s a great organization with a family feel among the employees and a tremendous asset to the community. I am happy to be joining the family.โ€

He went on to add, โ€œThe fact that Calvert is independent is very appealing to me. โ€œI believe decisions made locally are the best for the organization and the community. The leadership at CalvertHealth has tremendous longevity, which demonstrates stability for the community and the organization.

โ€œTheir commitment to providing great patient care and the care and kindness shown to the staff are admirable and attracted me to the organization,โ€ said Gloggner.

โ€œPeter has a keen understanding of the critical importance of all our employees to our mission of providing top quality health care,โ€ said Dean Teague, president and CEO of the health system. โ€œOur strongest asset is our nearly 1,200 employees who help us deliver the best care possible for our patients.โ€

Gloggner, who lives in Dunkirk, comes from a large family and enjoys cooking and traveling but his favorite thing to do is spending time with his dogs โ€“ Whitney George, a Portuguese Water Dog, and Kingsley Violet, a Labradoodle.
