Legacy Health is going through a change in leadership as their CEO, Kathryn Correia, announces her retirement. This news comes after four years of service at the hospital system. Dr. George Brown, who previously served as Legacy’s CEO from 2008 to 2018, will return to the position, according to a statement from Legacy.
Anna Loomis, Legacy’s chief financial officer, is also leaving her position. Charles Wilhoite, chair of Legacy’s board of directors, praised Anna’s critical role in steering Legacy towards financial strength and helping them achieve their objectives despite economic challenges.
Correia will continue in an advisory role until June when she officially retires for health reasons following an injury sustained in a fall last November. In her email to staff, Correia explained that she is retiring due to health issues and recognized the impact of stress on her well-being. Despite this change in leadership, it is expected that the hospital system will continue to thrive under Dr. Brown’s leadership and Anna’s successor’s financial expertise.
