Health center spokesperson Ashley Hamlin said the board plans to split the duties of the CEO position between two roles, due to the center’s rapid growth. The board did not name the new roles.
Dr. McKernan has led the health center for the last 10 years and has been instrumental in its growth. The center now sees nearly 100,000 patients per year. He declined to give The Courier a comment regarding his departure, although the Ms. Hamlin said he will pursue other opportunities.
“None of the board has any ill will against Dr. McKernan. It was just a strategy decision that they thought was really important,” Mr. Hamlin told The Courier.
