Kettering Health names 2 new senior leaders
Kettering Health has named Wally Sackett as its new president of Kettering Health, moving up from his current role leading the network’s flagship hospital Kettering Medical Center.
In his role as president, Sackett will directly oversee the organization’s medical centers and service lines, mission and culture, as well as clinical and nursing operations, according to an announcement from the health network.
When leading Kettering Health, he will be leading one of the largest health networks and largest employers in the region. Kettering Health reported $1.7 billion in net patient revenue in 2019.
Kettering Health operates a network of hospitals, including Kettering Medical Center, Grandview, Sycamore, Southview, Troy, Greene Memorial, Soin, Fort Hamilton, and Kettering Behavioral Medicine.
The rapidly expanding company also operates outpatient medical centers, freestanding emergency departments, and other health services.
Before Sackett, Roy Chew had been the president of Kettering Health. He retired in 2019. Terry Burns had been covering the position in addition to his other responsibilities until Sackett’s promotion.
Sackett has been the president of Kettering Medical Center for the past three years.
He’s also held other executive roles at Kettering Health since joining the network in 2007, including president of Sycamore Medical Center for nearly seven years.
Sharlet Briggs is announced as the new president of Kettering Medical Center and is the first woman named in the role.
Briggs joined Kettering Health earlier this year as Kettering Medical Center’s chief operating officer.
Kettering Health stated that Sharlet spent most of her career serving with Adventist Health, most recently as the president of Adventist Health Bakersfield.
“Kettering Health is blessed with incredible, mission-focused leaders,” Fred Manchur, CEO of Kettering Health, said in a statement.
