Limbocker will step into the role in October as he takes over for retiring CFO William Woeltjen.
Sarasota Memorial Health Care System will be appointing a new CFO this fall when 20-year healthcare industry veteran Jeff Limbocker takes over for retiring CFO William Woeltjen. The change will take effect on October 3, 2022.
Woeltjen has spent 12 years as Sarasota Memorial Health Care’s CFO, he is retiring at the end of this year but will remain part of the executive team as he helps Limbocker transition into the role.
"Bill has been an invaluable member of our leadership team whose contributions have strengthened our health system and benefitted our entire community," David Verinder, president, and CEO of Sarasota Memorial Health Care System said in a release announcing the change. "We have two very big shoes to fill, and I want to thank Bill for his dedication and strategic guidance over the past 15 years and his ongoing support as we welcome Jeff, another longtime financial executive, to our organization and community."
As CFO Woeltjen helped facilitate the system’s largest expansion in its almost 100-year history when Sarasota Memorial Health Care opened its new hospital in Venice and the Oncology Tower on the Sarasota campus last year. Woeltjen was also able to help the system navigate rising costs and staff challenges that cropped up due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Limbocker is currently working with the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, where he has held several leadership roles since 1995. He has also served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of the not-for-profit, multi-hospital system for the past three years. Prior to that Limbocker spent a decade as regional CFO for the health system's Baton Rouge market and Lady of the Lake Medical Center.
"I feel very fortunate to have worked for one great mission-based health system for many years, and to be continuing my career at another great mission-based health system," Limbocker said in the release. "I am looking forward to joining the Sarasota Memorial team and the opportunity to help guide the health system as it continues to evolve and meet the needs of this growing region."
