University Medical Center in Las Vegas has appointed the hospital's COO, Mason VanHouweling, as interim CEO, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
Mr. VanHouweling's appointment was decided days after Lawrence Barnard, UMC's CEO, announced his resignation to become president of San Francisco-based Dignity Health's San Martin Hospital in Nevada.
Mr. VanHouweling has served as the hospital's COO since April and previously held the same title at two other Southern Nevada hospitals.
