Erlanger is excited to announce the next steps in the story of Erlanger’s transition. Continuing the governance changes from July 2023, Erlanger announces a new leadership structure better aligned with other similar non-profit organizations. Last July, Erlanger officially became a private 501(c)3 as it better positioned itself for the longevity and success of the organization after years of working towards the important governance change. Over the succeeding months, the Chattanooga-based health system continued to work through additional steps of the transition, creating a seamless switch. This new arrangement of leadership and their responsibilities is the next logical step for setting up a positive future. “I am excited for these next steps in the Erlanger journey as we continue our work towards a brighter future,” said Jim Coleman, Erlanger CEO. “Creating better alignment throughout our organization is the next step in creating the infrastructure we need to move forward.”...Show more
