USA Health purchased the hospital from St. Louis-based Ascension in 2023 for $85 million. Mr. Metzger was a “steady force” during the acquisition and brings extensive experience in supporting teams that provide patient-centered, compassionate care, according to John Marymont, MD, vice president for medical affairs.
