“We respect and accept Shane’s decision to return to his home in Michigan,” Board Chair David Price said in a prepared statement from the hospital. “On behalf of the St. Luke’s family, we wish him well in his future endeavors and thank him for helping our team of caregivers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.”

We are committed to ensuring that St. Luke’s continues to be the leading independent healthcare provider in the St. Louis community and remains a great place to work for our outstanding team.”
