Joy Coulston, the hospital’s CFO, has been promoted to CEO. She succeeds Terry Odom, who made plans to retire in the first quarter of 2023.
A search for Ms. Odom’s replacement commenced in August, and the hospital originally planned to hire a new chief executive by November. However, her contract was extended through June as the search wore on for a suitable candidate. Ms. Odom will remain onboard in a paid-hourly mentor role when Ms. Coulston takes the lead July 10.
The hospital paid a fee to Billings (Mont.) Clinic to aid their search, according to the newspaper. Ms. Coulston is the first CEO Billings Clinic has hired for Powell Valley.
