Marsh's 23 years in health care also have included CEO stints at Greenview Regional Hospital in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and at Marshall Medical Center in Lewisburg, Tennessee. He has been a board member for affiliates of United Way, March of Dimes, American Heart Association, Red Cross and YMCA.

Marsh, who earned his bachelor's degree and master's degree in health care administration from Western Kentucky University, is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives and has received the Regent’s Award and Young Healthcare Executive of the Year Award for Tennessee.
