Meritus Health Names Former Rev Cycle VP New CFO

Josh Repac assumed the role on July 1, 2022, following the retirement of former CFO Thomas Chan.

Meritus Health, the largest healthcare provider in western Maryland with 3,000 employees, 600 medical staff members, 240 volunteers, 300 beds, and over $440 million in net patient revenue, has promoted Josh Repac to the role of chief financial officer.

Repac assumed the role on July 1, 2022, following the retirement of former CFO Thomas Chan, who will remain with the organization as chief of treasury services during the next six months as Repac transitions into the role. Chan joined Meritus Health in 2015, bringing with him more than three decades of experience in the financial healthcare industry.

Prior to becoming CFO, Repac served as vice president of revenue cycle and clinical support services, and before that, as executive director of revenue cycle and reimbursement. Repac brings 15 years’ worth of healthcare and finance experience to the role. He has also served in leadership positions at health care consulting companies located in the Baltimore region.

"When you think about the patient experience, it’s doctors and nurses, but that’s not all," Repac said in a news release announcing his promotion. "In finance, we touch the aftercare of the patient path, and it’s an important piece."

Other recent healthcare CFO moves include Memorial Health Meadows Hospital. Interim CFO Jared Kirby recently took on the role permanently. Javier Vallejo was chosen as the organization's new CFO following an exhaustive nationwide search. And Kyle Vining will take over as the new chief financial officer of McLaren Port Huron.
