Crescent Announces Staff Changes. Media Announcement
- December 12th 2005 For Immediate
Release: Sandra (Sandy) Smith, RN, MSN, Ph.D., former Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Margaret R. Pardee Hospital, will join Crescent in January to lead the company's growing health management program. As Vice President of Health Management, Sandy will work closely with Crescent's Medical Director, Bob Peterson, MD, to build on the success of the program that began more than a year ago at Westcare Health Systems, and has already yielded significant healthcare cost reduction for participating companies. "Crescent is a visionary organization engaged in promoting the health of the region," commented Sandy. "It is an honor to be part of such an important initiative." Also announced today was the promotion of former Director of Client Services, Pat Hensley to Vice President of Client Services. Pat has played a major role in Crescent's success over the past few years and her new role is an acknowledgement of the importance of Client Services in future growth strategies. "We're delighted with the direction the company is taking in both Health Management and Client Service areas," says Crescent CEO, Myrna Harvey. "Having Sandy join our team is very exciting. She brings a solid reputation for delivering results, and I can't imagine a better scenario than having Sandy and Pat working together with the support of the Crescent team." Crescent's
healthcare provider network includes more than 1,800 healthcare
professionals as well as 15 regional hospitals. More than 100 major
employers in Western North Carolina use the Crescent network to
provide healthcare for almost 50,000 employees and their families.
