Mr. Cropper plans to retire from Genesis in June for a full-time leadership role with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to a Dec. 12 news release.
The release states that he and his wife, Lynne, will serve as full-time mission leaders with the church. Kurt Andersen, MD, chief clinical officer/chief medical officer for Genesis, was selected as Mr. Cropper’s successor, effective in June.

“Doug Cropper’s strong leadership over the past 14 years has put Genesis on a positive path forward, even in these increasingly challenging times in healthcare,” C. Dana Waterman III, chair of Genesis Health System’s board of directors, said in the release. “He will leave a lasting legacy at Genesis, and his passion for quality, and safe and compassionate care for our patients will benefit our community for years to come.”
