Michael Cunningham

Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Cunningham joined Lucy Corr in February, 2024. He and his wife relocated to Virginia from Memphis where he served as the Chief Executive Officer for Columbia Healthcare since 2018. Prior C-Suite roles include service as the CEO of FernBrooke Healthcare from 2008–2014 and as the COO of Advanced Healthcare from 2014–2018.

His career as a Healthcare Administrator began in 1996, when he was hired as the Director of Long-Term Care for a county-owned skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Mississippi. His career progression involved assumption of multi-facility management roles, with overall management responsibility for skilled nursing facilities, assisted and independent living facilities, adult day programs, and continuing care retirement communities in eight states, with three large senior living companies. In addition to his employment in the sector, he has also served as an Owner/Operator.

Before joining Lucy Corr, Mr. Cunningham concentrated on serving distressed Continuing Care Retirement Communities throughout the country, facilitating either the pathway out of bankruptcy or the avoidance of bankruptcy through financial and operational turnarounds. His professional memberships include the American Healthcare Association as well as state associations in Tennessee, Virginia, and Alabama. He holds state licensure as an Administrator in Mississippi, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia and is also certified as a Preceptor for Administrators-in-Training. He completed his B.S. in Chemistry at Mississippi College and holds an M.B.A. in Marketing Management from The University of Mississippi.

Michael and his wife Joann are the parents of four children, have three delightful grandchildren, and are very happy to return to Virginia.
