Dr. French, who has helmed Northwestern Medical Center since late 2020, will leave in August, according to the report.
Northwestern Medical Center Board President Jake Holzscheiter praised efforts under Dr. French’s leadership.
“Prior to the hiring of Dr. French, NMC went through a very broad and thorough process of defining what NMC should be,” Mr. Holzscheiter said in a statement to workers, which was shared with the St. Albans Messenger. “That led to a strategic focus on improving safety, quality and financial sustainability. Great work has been done and our direction remains unchanged.”
Before his current position, Dr. French was CEO of Community Medical Center in Missoula, Mont.
