Katherine Wong is joining the organization from Northwest Medical Center.
HCA Florida Kendall Hospital—a 447-bed facility with over $5 billion in total patient revenue—has appointed industry veteran Katherine Wong as its new chief financial officer.
"Katherine is joining us from Northwest Medical Center where she has had great success as CFO for the past three years," HCA Florida Kendall Hospital CEO Brandon Haushalter said in a release posted by South Florida Hospital News. "Katherine has spent 17 years working with HCA across a variety of roles, including her first leadership position as patient access supervisor at Aventura Hospital in 2009. Katherine is an amazing HCA career growth story, and I am very excited to have her joining our Kendall team."
Other CFOs who have changed hospitals or moved into different roles include Michael Mewhirter, the chief financial officer for Kettering Health. Mewhirter has stepped into the CEO role for the organization following the retirement of CEO Fred Manchur. Andrew Zukowski, who previously served as CFO for UNC Rex Healthcare, became CFO for ECU Health on November 28, 2022. Baptist Health—the largest health system in Kentucky with almost 500 total staffed beds and over $3 billion in total patient revenue—recently announced that Rick Carrico will take over as CFO for the retiring Steve Oglesby.
