Altru Health System announced the successor this morning for outgoing Chief Executive Officer Greg Gerloff.
Effective Jan. 1, current Chief Operating Officer Dave Molmen will serve as CEO. Gerloff has announced plans to retire Dec. 31. Tim Sayler, Altru's executive director, will be promoted to Molmen's current position.
Both Molmen and Sayler have extensive experience at Altru. Molmen's career with Altru and its predecessors began in 1978. He has served as the organization's COO since 1997. Sayler, a 24-year Altru employee, has been executive director since 2002.
"This is a new day at Altru with leadership that has been part of the organization for some time," said Judith Neppel, chair of Altru's Board of Directors.
The board approved the appointments Friday.
