Exceptional Interim CEO Of U Of I Hospitals & Clinics Is Named

A friend of mine has given me a heads up on the appointment of an exceptional leader from Duke University, who is coming to Iowa City. This "wunderkind" is none other than Gordon D. Williams, who has been named interim chief executive officer of University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, effective December, 31, 2007. The appointment was announced today by UI Vice President for Medical Affairs Jean E. Robillard, MD, to whom Williams will report.

His responsibilities at Duke include School of Medicine budget and finance, resource planning, grants and contract and administration. For the Duke Health System, including the medical center, he managed corporate services, such as human resources, engineering and operations, the Occupational Environmental Safety Office, procurement, Architect's Office, Medical Center Information Systems, and leased properties.

Please welcome Mr. Williams, to Iowa City, and may he find it such an attractive place, and the position so enticing, that he chooses to stay on in this job, in a permanent capacity. Thank you!!
