Dr. Carpenter joins the West Des Moines, Iowa-based system after 2.5 years with Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health, where he served as senior vice president and associate chief nurse executive and, before that, enterprise chief nursing informatics officer for the 18-hospital system.

Twenty-hospital UnityPoint says Dr. Carpenter will lead systemwide safety, quality and patient experience initiatives and focus on a culture of continuous improvement.  

Dr. Carpenter, a Chicago native, expressed excitement about a return to the Midwest and the work ahead. “Creating a positive practice environment for nursing while promoting growth in our future nursing workforce through education, mentorship and leadership development is a passion of mine,” he said in the UnityPoint press release.
