Dr. Mansfield will also be a senior adviser to the president for strategic initiatives, according to a Nov. 28 news release.
He will assume the roles after serving as Methodist CEO from 2006 until his retirement from the helm in 2019.
Before joining Methodist, Dr. Mansfield was president and CEO of Little Rock, Ark.-based St. Vincent Health System.

I look forward to giving it everything I have and to serving our Lord as best I can at DBU.”
