Craig Jesiolowski, a regional vice president with hospital management firm Quorum Health Resources, has been appointed as the interim CEO of DECH.

Mr. Dodwell’s replacement comes after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told DECH that the hospital will no longer be able to accept Medicare reimbursements as of July 10.

Mr. Jesiolowski will serve as CEO while CMS and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services discuss the future of the hospital, which may include a state takeover, according to the report.
