Troy Christensen has resigned as CEO of Driggs, Idaho-based Teton Valley Health Care, more than two years after taking the helm, the health system announced in a Sept. 25 Facebook post.
“The board, on behalf of the organization, expresses their gratitude for Troy’s leadership and dedication over the past two years and wishes him the very best,” the post said.
As part of a succession plan developed earlier this year, CFO Leianne Everett was appointed interim CEO.
Mr. Christensen became CEO in August 2023, succeeding Nathan Levanger, DO, who stepped in as interim CEO when Keith Gnagey resigned in September 2022. Prior to joining TVHC, Mr. Christensen served as CFO of Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Idaho.
Ms. Everett joined TVHC in 2023 after serving as CEO of Morton (Wash.) General Hospital, now known as Arbor Health-Morton Hospital, according to her biography on Teton Valley’s website.
“Leianne and her team have been integral in moving the organization in a positive financial direction,” TVHC’s post said. “The board is confident that Leianne will provide the stable leadership needed during this transition and will work with the board and administration to continue TVHC’s positive momentum into an exciting future. We appreciate the support of our staff and community as she steps into this role.”
Ms. Everett said in the post, “I am honored to accept the appointment as interim CEO of Teton Valley Health Care. I appreciate the trust and confidence the board has placed in me during this pivotal time for our organization. I recognize the responsibility this role carries and am committed to providing steady leadership, maintaining operational continuity, and supporting our teams as we navigate this transition.”
TVHC’s website states that the organization includes Teton Valley Hospital, the Specialty Clinic, Driggs Health Clinic and Victor Health Clinic.
