Jeff Morgan has been serving as interim CFO since March, and will now step into the role permanently.

Bassett Healthcare Network, a Cooperstown, New York-based healthcare provider with five corporately affiliated hospitals and over two dozen community-based health centers, appointed a new CFO on May 8, 2023.

Jeff Morgan has been serving as interim CFO of the organization since March of this year. Prior to joining Basset Healthcare Network Morgan served as interim regional CFO for PeaceHealth in Vancouver, Washington.

"Staci and Jeff will be remarkable additions to Bassett, Dr. Tommy Ibrahim, President and CEO of Bassett Healthcare Network said in the release announcing their appointments. "They are both highly accomplished leaders in healthcare administration, each bringing critical areas of expertise to our health system.
