Mr. Quinton has been serving as interim president and CEO of Rock Regional Hospital in Derby, Kan., since May, according to his LinkedIn profile. The job came through his service to Wichita, Kan.-based Heartland Medical Consulting, which he joined the month after he resigned from William Newton. 

Mr. Quinton spent two months on administrative leave before resigning from the Winfield hospital. The board attributed the leave to an unspecified personnel matter between Mr. Quinton and the board members.
