About Hal McCard
I am Counsel with the law firm Spencer Fane, LLP, and a General Counsel/CLO in the healthcare sector, where I excel in legal operations, healthcare regulatory compliance and complex litigation. I design effective legal solutions with a business-intelligent approach for nonprofit and for-profit health systems, physician group practices and ancillary/allied healthcare providers. At the heart of my work is a relentless focus on providing practical, effective legal guidance and meaningful process and performance improvement. I advise public company, not for profit, and private equity boards and stakeholders on corporate governance and strategic issues at the intersection of law and business.I served as SVP, General Counsel, and Secretary at Quorum Health Corporation, a $1.2B enterprise formed after Community Health Systems (CHS) transitioned a portfolio of 38 hospitals into a separate, publicly traded company in 2016. A nationally recognized expert in Stark, Anti-Kickback and False Claims Act laws and regulations, I aggressively managed existing state and federal regulatory compliance and investigations. I have vast experience in physician/health system clinical integration including value based care model design and implementation.Prior to joining Quorum, I spent nine years at CHS, where I directed legal operations for six divisions. In this role, I directed legal, operational, and regulatory due diligence for CHS’ $7.6B acquisition of Health Management Associates, creating (at the time) the nation’s largest hospital system. I was elected to serve two three-year terms on the Board of Directors for the American Health Law Association, where I chaired the Practice Groups and Special Councils Committee of the Board and served on the Executive Committee. I was elected an AHLA Fellow in 2025.I am licensed to practice in Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas (inactive). Specialties: Legal department management and operations.
