Wisconsin-based Gundersen Health System announced Fran Perez-Guerra, MD, a veteran of the institution, as chief executive officer of the Gundersen Moundview Hospital and Clinics.
Perez-Guerra brings to the role more than 20 years of experience within Gunderson Health System.
"Gundersen Health System has built a reputation over the years for doing the right thing for rural healthcare," Perez-Guerra said in a prepared statement. "Our partnerships with Critical Access Hospitals like Gundersen Moundview, the specialty services we provide close to home for patients, and working side-by-side with organizations and community groups to improve health and well-being are just a few examples of why I'm proud to work for Gundersen and why I'm excited to get to work for Gundersen Moundview, its staff and for our patients."
Perez-Guerra previously worked within the System in the areas of medical and support staff recruitment, employee and labor relations, and the Gundersen Child Care Center.
