Jennifer Sullivan, MD, has been named senior vice president of strategic operations at Charlotte, N.C.-based Atrium Health, according to a July 8 Charlotte Business Journal report.
Four things to know:
- Dr. Sullivan formerly served as the secretary of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, where she was appointed in 2017. Dr. Sullivan oversaw eight divisions, such as disability and family resources.

- "As a person who likes to get up for work every day knowing that it's going to mean something to someone, that level of impact, what happens next after the secretary role is a little bit daunting to think about, 'How do you continue this level of mission-driven, career-focused work?'" Dr. Sullivan said about why she chose to accept a position at Atrium Health.
