Daniel Jackson, who joined Ascension in March as president of Columbia St. Mary's and became ministry market executive for Ascension Wisconsin in August, will continue to serve as the hospital's president until Mr. Storey starts on Dec. 11.
Kurt Schley has been appointed president of Ascension's Elmbrook hospital campus in Brookfield, Wis., effective Jan. 2. Mr. Schley most recently served as market CEO of Catholic Health Initiatives St. Alexius Health in Bismarck, N.D., now part of Chicago-based CommonSpirit.
