Hendrick Health appoints new leadership
Hendrick Health announced Wednesday the appointment of new clinical leadership.
Dr. Josh Reed has been named the healthcare system’s first assistant chief medical information officer.
In the newly created ACMIO position, Reed will serve as a bridge between medical staff, administration and IT to promote best practices and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, a Hendrick press release said.
“Josh is an invaluable resource for our information technology (IT) team and has a natural talent as a collaborator,” said Dr. Rob Wiley, chief medical officer of Hendrick Health. “As our organization continues to develop its IT strategy, he will provide essential clinical leadership to prepare us for the next decade of connected care.”
Reed joined Hendrick Health medical staff in 2014 specializing in supportive and palliative care, the release said.
Since 2018, Reed has been the physician advisor for case management at Hendrick Health. He has demonstrated his knowledge by serving on the Clinical IT Steering Committee since 2014 and as an IT consultant.
Reed’s appointment follows the 2024 clinical leadership appointments of Dr. Allen Schultz as assistant chief medical officer for Hendrick Clinic and Dr. Stephen Lowry as assistant chief medical officer for Hendrick Health, the release said.
Schultz brings more than 24 years of experience in primary care, including emergency department proficiency, to his role as ACMO for Hendrick Clinic, the press release said.
Hendrick Health has appointed Dr. Stephen Lowry as assistant chief medical officer for Hendrick Health.
Lowry has served as chief of staff and in other medical staff leadership roles at Hendrick Health since beginning his anesthesiologist practice in 2004, the release said.
The additional medical staff leadership strengthens Hendrick Health’s focus on patient-centric care emphasizing effective communication, empathy and evidence-based practices, Wiley said.
