Over the past year, Asante has implemented a less complex administrative structure to help achieve a systemized approach for delivering high-quality and low-cost health care across our organization.
In addition to recently announced changes, the following leadership roles will become effective on Monday, Aug. 28, to support Asante’s goal of improved “systemness:”
Whitney Murphy joins Asante as vice president of Operations for ARRMC and AACH. In addition to her responsibility for operations, Whitney will provide systemwide executive oversight of Cardiovascular Services, Perioperative Services, Rehabilitation Services, Hospice, Wound Care and Sleep Lab. Whitney joins us from Seattle Children’s. She will report to me.
Jennifer Perry, director of ATRMC Imaging Services, will become director of Asante Imaging Services, providing systemwide leadership of Imaging Services (excluding the Cath Labs and Cardiac Studies) and will report to Dr. Eric Loeliger, vice president of Operations and medical officer for ATRMC.
