The nine-hospital system, which ended the 2022 fiscal year with an operating margin of -2 percent (a $46 million loss), is also discontinuing operation of the inpatient behavioral health care unit at ECU Health North Hospital in Roanoke Rapids.

Andrew Zukowski recently became CFO for ECU Health after his predecessor Davd Hughes retired after more than 25 years with the health system.
