AdventHealth Daytona Beach has named a new chief medical officer.
Dr. Carolyn Harraway-Smith stepped into the role on Aug. 25, bringing over 20 years of experience as a practicing physician and health care executive, according to a press release.
Board-certified in both obstetrics/gynecology and family medicine, Harraway-Smith most recently served as the system chief quality officer for Cone Health in North Carolina. She’s also held roles as a department chair, fellowship director, and hospital chief medical officer.
“Dr. Harraway-Smith has been a practicing physician for many years, and she’s also led systemwide quality initiatives,” said Dr. David Sinclair, president and CEO of AdventHealth Daytona Beach. “She understands that better care isn’t just about protocols or equipment — it’s about people. And she knows how to bring teams together to make meaningful change.”
Harraway-Smith joins the hospital as construction crews continue to work on a $220 million expansion that will add 104 new inpatient beds, four surgical suites, and more than 240,000 square feet of space, the press release states.
“I was drawn to AdventHealth because of its whole-person care philosophy. It’s how people show up here, every day,” Dr. Harraway-Smith said. “I’m looking forward to being part of a team that’s serious about safety, equity, and helping patients feel not only better, but truly cared for.”
