Nanette Mickiewicz, MD, president and CEO of Dignity Health Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz, Calif., plans to retire in 2026.
Dr. Mickiewicz has led the hospital since 2006, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to Becker’s. She previously served as Dominican Hospital’s chief medical officer beginning in 2000.

The hospital also established and expanded the city’s only full-service cardiac surgery program, which now serves as a regional center of excellence, according to the spokesperson.
Her final day in the role has not been determined, and a national search has been launched for her successor.
