Mount Vernon, Wash.-based Skagit Regional Health hired Brian Ivie as its new president and CEO, according to a Skagit Valley Herald report.
Here are three notes:
1. Mr. Ivie previously served as president and CEO of three California clinics operated by San Francisco-based Dignity Health.
2. He is replacing Mike Liepman, who will assist Mr. Ivie through the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition.
3. Mr. Ivie is taking over at a time of financial difficulty. The organization experienced a $4 million deficit in 2016 and is expected to lose money this year as well.
