A. Lloyd Finks, MD

"From nursing home administrator to radio talk show host, fishing boat captain to public relations director for Special Olympics, Lloyd traveled the world and enjoyed a broad range of work and experiences before finding his life’s calling and beginning the study of medicine at the “ripe old age” of 32.  Ten years later, after graduating from St. George’s University School of Medicine, he moved to Memphis and completed a Residency in Internal Medicine at Methodist University Hospital (formerly Methodist Central Hospital).   When he finished, Lloyd chose the unique beauty and flavors of Memphis as his new home and was offered a faculty position to teach clinical medicine at Methodist.  He and four others formed Methodist’s first inpatient “Hospitalist” division in 2004, and he remained as a senior hospitalist partner until 2016, when he was appointed as the Divisional Medical Director for Methodist Affiliated Services.  While there he was responsible for the clinical operations of the Methodist Minor Meds, Home Care, and Hospice. 

Lloyd has received the Methodist LeBonheur Healthcare Power of One Miracle Award, the SGAEC Excellence in Teaching Award for Clinical Medicine from the University of Tennessee and has twice received the University of Tennessee College of Medicine MSEC’s Golden Apple award.  He is Board certified in Internal Medicine. 

Lloyd serves as our practicing Medical Director as well as the Chief Operating Officer for ZüpMed."
