Promoted from interim to permanent job following June shake-up,

Charles “Chuck” Stokes has been appointed president and CEO of the Memorial Hermann Health System, two weeks after he was promoted to the interim job following an abrupt shake-up atop the largest hospital network in the Houston area.

Stokes, who began his career as a registered nurse and and joined Memorial Hermann as its chief operating officer in 2008, succeeds Dr. Benjamin Chu, a highly touted executive who departed June 19 after just a year as CEO. Dan Wolterman, Chu’s predecessor, held the job 14 years.

“At a time when our industry is facing unprecedented challenges with declining reimbursements and escalating costs, I have every confidence Chuck has the experience and visionary leadership necessary to navigate our organization through this period of change and uncertainty,” Memorial Hermann Board Chair Deborah M. Cannon said in a statement.

Stokes, 63, said in a statement that he is “honored and humbled” by the appointment.

Virtua named Dennis W. Pullin, an executive at MedStar Health in Baltimore, to succeed Richard P. Miller as president and chief executive of South Jersey’s largest health system.

At MedStar, Pullin, 57, was president of MedStar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore and a MedStar senior vice president responsible for pharmacy, imaging, lab and pathology, behavioral health services, and transportation, Virtua said.

MedStar is a not-for-profit system of 10 hospitals in Maryland and Washington. It employs 30,000 and $5.3 billion in operating revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. Virtua had $1.3 billion in revenue last year.

Miller, 64, has been president and CEO of Virtua since its formation in 1997 through the merger of West Jersey Health System and Memorial Health Alliance. In January, Miller announced his intention to retire this year.

Pullin will take over at Virtua this fall, after a period of working with Miller.
