Lakeside Health System has now named Hugh H. Collins Interim CEO/CFO, Nancy Plews, Chairperson, Lakeside Health System Board of Directors, announced.
The appointment became effective April 1.
On March 16, Lakeside announced that Collins had been named Interim CFO, replacing Bridgett Reed.
Collins now also replaces Lakeside President and CEO James Wissler who resigned his post in early March to take a position as President and CEO of Hanover Hospital in his home state of Pennsylvania.
Wissler said it had been a privilege to serve at Lakeside, but his new position would offer him the opportunity to move closer to family, “ … that is very important to me at this point in my life,” he said.
Plews said Collins has worked in senior management positions at hospitals and health care facilities in Tennessee, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and North Carolina for over 30 years.
