Steve Schieber, CEO of the critical access region for St. Luke’s Health System, is serving as interim administrator for both locations during a search for Mr. Patterson’s replacement, Ms. Hohenberg said.
“We anticipate no disruption in care or operations as a result of the transition,” she added.
Both hospitals are part of Kansas City, Mo.-based St. Luke’s Health System.
