I wanted to provide you with an update on the search process for selecting a new President & CEO for WellStar Health System. Last fall, we retained the executive search firm of Witt/Kieffer to assist us with the process. In December, they met with members of the Board of Trustees and many senior and physician leaders to help us determine the skills needed for our next President & CEO and outline the goals and objectives for this position.
From these conversations, Witt/Kieffer developed position specifications, which were presented and approved by the Board of Trustees’ Selection Committee. The firm has now begun to market the position nationwide.
We are seeking a proven leader with experience in a large, complex health system in a competitive market. Some key attributes we are looking for include strategic vision, execution skills, strong business acumen, a commitment to the community and the ability to build strong relationships and to lead and inspire WellStar team members and medical staff.
In April, Witt/Kieffer will provide the Selection Committee a recommended field of approximately eight candidates. From those candidates, the committee will select a group for personal interviews. When the final candidates are chosen, they will interview with a broader group of WellStar board members and senior and physician leaders. Our goal is to have a new President & CEO in place by the end of June.
WellStar’s financial stability, growth strategy, excellent track record in clinical quality and patient safety and our committed medical staff and team members make us a highly desirable organization in which to lead.
I will continue to keep you updated on the search process. Your Board of Trustees is committed to selecting a President & CEO who can lead WellStar to even greater heights. Thank you for everything you do every day to improve the lives of our patients and our community.
Randall Bentley, Sr., Chairman, WellStar Board of Trustees
