Hollywood, Fla.-based Memorial Healthcare System has narrowed its CEO search down to four candidates, following the departure of retiring President and CEO Frank Sacco, according to a Sun Sentinel report.
Here are three things to know about the candidates.
1. The four candidates moving on in the search process are:
- Aurelio Fernandez III, executive vice president and COO of Memorial Healthcare System
- Robert Kelly, MD, former president and COO, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (New York City)
- Lee Ann Liska, president and CEO, University of Cincinnati Medical Center
