The appointment comes during a time of change for the West Des Moines, Iowa-based health system. It was acquired by Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health in the fall, and combined with Davenport, Iowa-based Genesis Health System in March. As a result, MercyOne transitioned to a new three-division operating model and redesigned some leadership structures, according to a July 24 news release.
Dr. Andersen previously served as president and CEO of Genesis Health System.
