Dallas-based
Methodist Health System has named Jim Scoggin as its new CEO.
Scoggin has
served as interim CEO since April of this year after Stephen Mansfield retired
after leading the company for 13 years.
With 34-years
of experience in the healthcare sector, the Methodist Board of Directors felt
that Scoggin had to ability to lead the company now and into the future.
Scoggin's
career started in 1980 when he worked for Humana; during his time, he held
various positions including Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating
Officer. It was in 1987 that Scoggin joined Methodist Hospital in San Antonio
as COO.
Once Methodist
Healthcare System in San Antonio was formed in 1995, Scoggin was named CEO of
the San Antonio hospital. Five years later, he became Executive Vice-President
of Methodist Health System in San Antonio. Prior to his retirement in 2013, he
was the President of the North Texas Division of HCA for seven years.
"Jim has a
unique gift for building authentic relationships which in a very short time has
made an invaluable contribution to the mission, culture and values that
distinguish Methodist," said Chair of the Board of Directors of Methodist,
Julie Yarbrough, in a prepared statement.
Scoggin said in
a prepared statement that "it is an honor and privilege to have this
opportunity to serve Methodist Health System and work to grow and enhance its
mission and 92-year legacy of service."
