Certified public accountant and veteran health care administrator Lynn DeJaco has been named interim chief financial officer at Erlanger Health System.
DeJaco replaces Erlanger’s former CFO Britt Tabor, who left the Chattanooga-based public hospital system in April after 31 years of service.
Previously, DeJaco was the senior vice president and CFO for more than 17 years at FirstHealth of the Carolinas – a private, not-for-profit health care network headquartered in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The system is licensed for four hospitals with 610 beds and has 5,300 employees serving a 15-county region in the mid-Carolinas, according to FirstHealth’s website.
DeJaco left FirstHealth in July 2020, according to a report in Becker’s Hospital Review.
Erlanger President and CEO Dr. William Jackson said via news release, “We are excited to have Lynn bring her expertise and many years of experience to the leadership team at Erlanger. We look forward to working with her to continue Erlanger’s positive trajectory.”
