CSuite Shuffle
Tracking Healthcare Executive Moves

👋 Welcome back to the Shuffle!
This week’s leadership shakeups are heavy on fresh CEOs, CFO moves, and some big-name exits. From a new CEO at University of Virginia Health to Providence losing its chief transformation officer, boards are busy swapping, promoting, and recruiting. We also see a wave of new nursing, clinical, and genomics leadership roles being filled — signaling where health systems are betting their chips for the future.

Grab your coffee and let’s run through who’s stepping in, stepping up, and stepping out across the healthcare C-suite.
