RCCH asked Mr. Serle to remain in his position, but due to contractual issues with St. Louis-based Ascension, Lourdes’ former owner, he said that was not possible.

Mark Gregson, who most recently served as interim CEO of the University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus in Topeka, will serve as interim CEO of Lourdes while the system searches for a permanent replacement.
