The memo, which was shared with Becker’s Oct. 13, says Mr. Mendez will focus on growth in the Palm Beach County market as well as efforts related to Bethesda Hospital East and West, both in Boynton Beach, Fla., and Boca Regional.
Mr. Mendez became CEO of Boca Regional CEO in 2019, when the hospital joined Baptist Health South Florida.

A search is underway for a new CEO for Bethesda, who will succeed Nelson Lazo upon his retirement.”
Before becoming CEO of Boca Regional, Ms. Mendez helmed South Miami Hospital Coral Gables-based Doctors Hospital.
