Bane brings 14 years’ experience in healthcare leadership, most recently serving as President for Steward Health Care’s North Region, a $3 billion multi-state business with 20,000 employees.
“Our colleagues, patients and physician partners will benefit from the proven expertise Harry brings to our organization,” said Eric Evans, CEO of Surgery Partners. “Harry’s leadership and experience will provide value to our physicians and payors who rely on us to deliver exceptional patient care.”
Bane led Steward Health Care’s operational transformation in New England, where it has become one of the most successful value-based healthcare systems in the country and he has served as president of several Steward acute care hospitals. Prior to Steward, Harry led 14 skilled nursing facilities, three adult day health centers and two assisted living facilities for a private, for-profit system.
“I’m looking forward to leveraging my experience to support the Surgery Partners team, physician partners, patients, and the communities we serve,” said Bane. “This is an outstanding organization with a track record of delivering exceptional healthcare outcomes.”
In collaboration with Surgery Partners’ leadership team, Bane will lead operational and strategic growth execution for the American Group to continuously deliver on its mission of enhancing patient quality of life through partnership. Bane succeeds the previous American Group President, George Goodwin, who retired at the end of September and worked collaboratively with Bane to ensure a seamless transition.
“In George’s 24 years with Surgery Partners, he defined this critically important role for our organization with proven expertise and a collaborative approach both within and beyond the American Group,” said Evans. “Our company’s growth and success are the result of his development and execution of a highly efficient operating system and strong, sustainable physician partnerships. We will miss him and wish him the best in his retirement.”
