Medical City Plano names new CFO to oversee regional operations

Medical City Plano announced Jan. 8, 2026 that Aaron Martin, MBA, CPA, will serve as chief financial officer for Medical City Plano and Medical City Sachse, a leadership move that places a single executive in charge of finance and key operational services across two Collin County hospitals. Martin joined the organization in December 2025 after a series of chief financial roles in other hospital systems.

As CFO, Martin will oversee finance, patient access, health information management, case management, revenue integrity, IT and supply chain for both campuses. Those areas directly influence how patients are billed, how quickly they get scheduled care, how medical records and privacy are managed, and how supplies and equipment are procured and distributed across hospital units serving Plano, Sachse and surrounding communities.

Martin most recently served as CFO at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center within the HCA system starting in August 2021, and he previously held the CFO role at TriCities Hospital in Hopewell, Virginia. His academic credentials include an MBA with a finance concentration from Gonzaga University and a BBA from Eastern Washington University, and he is a certified public accountant.

Local implications are practical and immediate. Financial leadership shapes the affordability and availability of care. Decisions about revenue integrity and billing practices affect patient balances and the handling of insurance disputes. Patient access and case management influence how easily residents can get appointments, post-discharge support, and help navigating insurance or charity care options. IT and supply chain oversight can determine how smoothly electronic health records and telehealth function, and whether vital equipment and medications are available during high demand.

This hire arrives as hospitals nationwide continue to manage inflationary supply costs, workforce shortages and evolving payer contracts. For Collin County residents, the consolidation of oversight across Plano and Sachse means changes approved at the CFO level could be implemented across both hospitals, for better or worse. Community leaders and patients who rely on public or employer-sponsored insurance, or who face high out-of-pocket costs, will want clarity on charity care policies, billing dispute procedures and how patient access teams can help navigate coverage gaps.

The takeaway? Keep an eye on how new financial leadership translates into policies that affect your wallet and your care. Contact patient access or case management at your hospital if you have concerns about billing or scheduling, and consider attending hospital board or community meetings to ask how financial decisions will protect access for vulnerable neighbors. Our two cents? Stay informed and speak up—financial stewardship in health care matters to every patient.
