This is the latest leadership transition for Lifespan, whose former CEO and president, Dr. Timothy J. Babineau, retired earlier this year. The organization has named John Fernandez, current president of Mass Eye and Ear and Mass General Brigham Integrated Care, as its next leader starting early next year. Arthur Sampson has been serving in the role on an interim basis since Babineau left.
Bruno said Lifespan will be recruiting for a permanent chief financial officer after Fernandez has started his new role in January 2023.
Lifespan, which owns Rhode Island, The Miriam, Bradley and Newport hospitals, recently reported a loss of $77 million in operating revenue in fiscal year 2022, which ended Sept. 30.
Sampson in a statement blamed the financial losses on inflationary price hikes, as well as “unfavorable” patient volume, which came in 9.2% below budget forecasts.
