Craig Castro, president and CEO of Fresno, Calif.-based Community Health System, will retire in early 2025 after nearly 40 years in healthcare.
Mr. Castro has led the system for almost five years, according to a Nov. 20 news release. He previously served as its chief information officer from 2002 to 2012, spearheading the early adoption of electronic medical records.
In 2006, he became CEO of Clovis (Calif.) Community Medical Center, where he oversaw a multiphased expansion that tripled the hospital's inpatient capacity.
Community Health System includes four inpatient hospitals as well as long-term care and outpatient facilities.
