His last day will be in October.

“I’m proud of the work I accomplished at Good Samaritan Hospital,” Dr. Thaler stated in an email sent to Becker’s Sept. 23. “My decision to leave is for my family and I am looking forward to rejoining them in the Midwest.”

“While Good Samaritan Hospital’s policy is not to discuss personnel matters publicly, the intensity of the pandemic during the past year and a half has made it common for healthcare professionals to re-evaluate their life priorities, choosing to spend more time with their loved ones or furthering their careers,”
a hospital spokesperson told Becker’s Sept. 23. “We encourage our colleagues to be true to themselves and their families.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
