The move follows the announcement of the departure of Janie Wade from the role Sept. 20.
Mr. Ashdown, who has been with Intermountain for 23 years, will begin his role Oct. 23. He was most recently the senior vice president of financial operations at the 33-hospital system.
“Clay has been a champion and trusted Intermountain leader for decades,” Intermounatin President and CEO Rob Allen said. “With a strong command of the firm ties between finance and operations, he is undoubtedly the leader for the role.”
