Omaha-based Nebraska Medicine has named Daniel J. DeBehnke, MD, CEO.
Here are four things to know about Dr. DeBehnke.
1. He succeeds interim CEO Rosanna Morris, BSN, RN, and interim president Bradley Britigan, MD.
2. Since 2013, Dr. DeBehnke has served as CEO of Medical College Physicians, the Milwaukee-based physicians group representing more than 1,500 academic physicians and providers who practice at Froedtert Hospital, the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinics and other hospitals in southeastern Wisconsin.
3. In taking over for Ms. Morris and Dr. Britigan at Nebraska Medicine, the hiring of Dr. DeBehnke brings an end to the interim co-leadership model implemented while the clinical integration of Nebraska Medicine was taking place — something that started in late 2013.
4. Dr. Britigan and Ms. Morris will continue to serve in their roles as interim president and interim CEO until Dr. DeBehnke's arrival later this summer. After that, Dr. Britigan will continue in his permanent role as dean of the UNMC College of Medicine in Omaha. He will remain a critical partner and prominent leader for Nebraska Medicine, and will actively assist Dr. DeBehnke. Rosanna Morris will transition to an executive vice president role for the health system, reporting to Dr. DeBehnke, also supporting him during the transition.
