Vancouver, Wash.-based PeaceHealth announced the departure of three executives from its Oregon network, according to a report by The Register-Guard. All three will step down on Dec. 16.
Wendy Apland, vice president of finance/CFO for PeaceHealth's Oregon network, is leaving to pursue other opportunities. She has been with the PeaceHealth since July 1998.
Louella Freeman, RN, MSN, CNO of PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield, Ore., is also leaving to pursue other opportunities. She joined PeaceHealth in 2014.
"They left voluntarily," said Marcy Marshall, a PeaceHealth spokeswoman, according to the report. "It just happened at the same time. It has nothing to do with the [PeaceHealth] system at all."
Additionally, Kris Kitz, Oregon network vice president of strategy, innovation and development, is stepping down. Due to restructuring at the PeaceHealth system level, Mr. Kitz's "local strategy leadership position has been eliminated," according to the report.
Rand O'Leary, chief executive of the PeaceHealth's Oregon network, said he will work with system CNO Victoria King and system CFO Kim Hodgkinson to find interim replacements for the open roles, the report notes.
