Dr. Tam was selected to serve as president and CEO, effective in April. He assumed the helm March 17 instead.
“Beebe has already acted quickly to support the community regarding COVID-19. The mobile screening event [March 14] was extremely successful and a proud moment for the healthcare system to offer to our neighbors,” Dr. Tam told the Gazette. “I felt a sense of duty as a future leader in the community to begin as soon as possible and continue the momentum of Beebe’s great work.”
Dr. Tam is a former Navy captain. Before joining Beebe, he was COO of Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif.
