Michael Boblitz was raised in a family with a long line of healthcare leaders that dates back to his great, great uncle, George Washington Crile I, who founded the Cleveland Clinic – one of the most reputable hospital and healthcare organizations in the world. Boblitz is named after his great, great uncle George, holding the middle name of "Crile."
In his spare time, he coaches a local middle school basketball team that, in his first year, won both the Tallahassee City League’s regular season championship and the tournament championship in 2022. His goal is to repeat again in 2023.
Boblitz found enjoyment in teaching after his completion of undergraduate work at James Madison University. He formed a course, Managing Hospital Strategy, that incorporated real world healthcare data into the classroom to link the importance of application with traditional healthcare lecturing. He served as an instructor of the course for nine years before his career moved him to Atlanta, Georgia.
