Angel Medical Center and Mission Health will welcome a new leader on March 7.
Karen
S. Gorby, RN, MSN, MBA, CENP, FACHE, will join the hospital as President/Chief
Nursing Officer. Former Transylvania Regional Hospital president and current
vice president of rural health planning for Mission Health, Bob Bednarek, has
served as interim president since the August departure of former Angel Medical
Center president, Jim Bross.
Gorby
is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). For nearly
three decades she has served hospitals and health systems in Ohio, most recently
as administrator and chief nurse officer at Mercy Memorial Hospital in Urbana,
Ohio. She previously held leadership positions at Springfield Regional Medical
Center in Springfield, Ohio, and Kettering Medical Center in Kettering, Ohio.
She
will report to Kathy Guyette, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Mission Health’s Senior Vice
President of Patient Care Services and President, Regional Member Hospitals.
Until Gorby's arrival, Bednarek will continue as interim president.
“We
are so pleased to welcome Karen Gorby to our community and to the Mission
Health family,” said Guyette. “Her extensive experience in critical access and
small community hospital environments will be an asset. We are confident
of a bright future under her leadership.”
Gorby
received her MSN from Saint Josephs College in North Windham, Maine, and her
MBA from Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio.
