Mr. Wolbers plans to leave in late August “to embark on an entrepreneurial venture that will keep him rooted in the Dubuque community, a community that means a great deal to him and his family,” the hospital said.

“Chad’s decision was made after careful and thoughtful consideration and reflection of his professional and personal goals,” the hospital said.

Mr. Wolbers took the helm of UnityPoint Health–Finley Hospital in January 2019. The appointment marked his return to the hospital after serving as COO earlier in his career.

UnityPoint Health–Finley Hospital is part of West Des Moines, Iowa-based UnityPoint Health.

The hospital said Mr. Wolbers has agreed to assist with the transition until the end of August and beyond if needed, and that UnityPoint Health will announce a new market president in the coming weeks.
