Goldsmith to also assume CEO role in August 2028, when current CEO Jeffrey Freimark transitions to advisory role with organization
November 11, 2026 – Miami Jewish Health announces Alan Goldsmith has been named president, effective January 1, 2027. Goldsmith will succeed Jeffrey Freimark, who has served as the organization’s president and CEO for the past 18 years. Freimark will continue serving as CEO through August 2028, when he will transition to an advisory role and Goldsmith will assume president and CEO responsibilities. Goldsmith previously served as the organization’s executive vice president and chief operating and financial officer, working with Miami Jewish Health’s residential, long-term care, PACE, clinical service, and operational leaders and teams.
“Alan has a tremendous understanding of Miami Jewish Health’s people and operations, and, above all, the residents, participants, patients, and families we are privileged to serve,” said Freimark. “His steady leadership, sound judgment, and deep commitment to our mission make him well suited to guide Miami Jewish Health into its next chapter.”
Goldsmith joined Miami Jewish Health as chief operating officer in June 2022 and was appointed to executive vice president and chief operating and financial officer in January 2024. Prior to Miami Jewish Health, Goldsmith served in various leadership roles with Broward Health, Jackson Health Systems, and Tenet Healthcare. He is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
“It is an honor to be entrusted with leading Miami Jewish Health, an organization that has meant so much to families in our community for more than eight decades,” said Goldsmith. “Our responsibility is to build on that remarkable legacy while continuing to evolve how we deliver senior healthcare and living. I am deeply grateful to Jeff for his leadership and mentorship, and to our board and extraordinary team for their trust and partnership.”
During Goldsmith’s time working alongside Freimark, Miami Jewish Health has not only continued to deliver long-term nursing, memory, and clinical care but also expanded its PACE program operations, making it the largest PACE provider in the state, and enhanced its residential offerings, including the development of more than 400 affordable senior housing units at its Douglas Gardens campus in Pembroke Pines.
“Jeff has led Miami Jewish Health with distinction, and his stewardship has left the organization well positioned for the future,” said Ronald Fieldstone, Chairman of the Board, Miami Jewish Health. “Alan has earned the Board’s confidence through consistent leadership and a clear commitment to the people we serve. This succession plan reflects careful preparation and provides the organization with continuity.”
Freimark added, “Miami Jewish Health is a strong, enduring cornerstone of the community, providing compassion, dignity, and innovation in service of older adults. With this thoughtful transition, we are positioning the organization for growth in the years to come while honoring the work and generosity from generations of caregivers, staff, volunteers, donors, and leaders.”
