Sam
Brown, who has overseen all of Jennie Stuart Medical
Center’s financial affairs for the
last 15 years, will be leaving the hospital Nov. 2 to work for a medical system
in Texas.
Eric
Lee, the hospital’s president and chief executive officer, praised Brown’s
qualities as a manager and his skill at communicating with the board of
trustees. Beyond Brown’s advanced knowledge of health finance, Lee believes
these leadership qualities will make him hard to replace.
“It’s
not just about bookkeeping,” Lee said Tuesday. “I’ve teased Sam about wanting a
clone for his replacement.”
