VINCENNES, Ind. – Good Samaritan Hospital’s Board of Governors has implemented its succession plan, and has named Senior Vice President Gerald Waldroup to serve as the Interim President and CEO during the recruitment period effective February 13, 2010.
Mary Cay Martin, Chairman of the hospital’s Board of Governors, says the succession plan was developed five years ago to handle either planned or unplanned changes in administration. “The reason we have a succession plan is for continuity of care,” said Martin. “We don’t want the flow of services to stop, and this plan assures there will be no disruption in the day-to-day operation of the hospital.”
Martin says the Board of Governors will be reviewing both internal and external applicants for the President and CEO position. She said the board will look within professional hospital networks, such as the American College of Healthcare Executives and Indiana Hospital Association, as well as other health care professional societies.
“I am confident that the transition will be smooth due to the commitment of our Medical Staff, directors and employees,” said Waldroup. “We will all work together to continue to provide the highest quality of care to our patients.”
Waldroup is a graduate of the University of Southern Indiana with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He first began his career at Good Samaritan Hospital in 1974 as a Senior Accountant; leaving 11 years later in the position of Assistant Controller. Before returning to Good Samaritan Hospital in 2000 to take his current position, Waldroup was the CEO of Lawrence County Memorial Hospital in Lawrenceville, Illinois from 1985 to 2000.
