Jill Fuller, president and CEO of Watertown, S.D.-based Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, announced her intention to retire. She will continue in her current roles until the health system selects a replacement.
Ms. Fuller joined Prairie Lakes Healthcare System in 2000 as chief nursing officer. She has served in the health system's top post for the last eight years. Additionally, she will stay on to help on-board the new CEO if needed.
During Ms. Fuller's tenure, the health system saw considerable growth, developing seven new service lines.
"Prairie Lakes has thrived under Jill's leadership and we look forward to her continued guidance over the next months as we search for the best possible candidates," said Board Chairman Jim Redlinger. "Because Jill’s retirement date is flexible, we have more time than usual to conduct a search for the individual who will be here for the next chapter in our service as a regional medical center."
