Nebraska Medicine's advisory board has selected Rosanna Morris as interim CEO of the health care system. <\/p>\n
Morris, a registered nurse, has been with the organization for seven years. During that time, she served as the system chief nursing officer, and in January 2014 added the responsibilities of chief operating officer for the Nebraska Medical Center campus. <\/p>\n
Morris replaces Bill Dinsmoor, who retired March 3. <\/p>\n
In taking this interim role, she becomes the first female Hispanic CEO of a major health care system in the region. She is also the first nurse to serve as CEO at Nebraska Medicine or any of its affiliated partners. <\/p>\n
\"The Board saw in Rosanna a strong leader with an excellent reputation for achieving results while keeping the care and safety of our patients at the forefront of all we do,\" said UNMC Chancellor and Nebraska Medicine Advisory Board Chair Jeffrey P. Gold, MD. <\/p>\n
\"Nebraska Medicine's legacy, history and commitment to fulfilling its mission day in and day out are through the hands of its people,\" says Morris. \"To be in a role where I represent them and help to make decisions on their behalf, so that we can continue to take care of our patients, their families and serve our community, is no small task but one that I feel privileged and honored to have accepted.\" <\/p>\n
\"Ive known and worked with Rosanna for more than seven years,\" says retiring CEO Bill Dinsmoor. \"She is a compassionate leader who has demonstrated her commitment to delivering our brand promise of Serious Medicine. Extraordinary Care. Her skills and experience make her the right person to partner with Dr. Britigan to provide our organization with strong and focused leadership during this time of tremendous change and opportunity.\" <\/p>\n
As a national search for Nebraska Medicine's permanent CEO begins, Morris will work closely with interim President Brad Britigan, MD, who also serves as dean of UNMC's College of Medicine. <\/p>\n
