Britt Tabor, Erlanger Health System's executive vice president and chief financial officer, has left the Chattanooga-based public hospital system, according to an emailed statement from CEO Dr. Will Jackson.

Tabor's tenure at Erlanger ended Friday after 31 years of service. He has received numerous honors and awards, including the Becker's Hospital Review 2016 and 2017 "150 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know," according to a March 2021 article in Becker's.

"We certainly appreciate Britt's many years of service at Erlanger, most recently as CFO and treasurer, and very much wish him the best with his future plans," Jackson said. "We will announce an interim CFO in the very near future."

The health system declined to share any details as to why Tabor is no longer employed.

"Erlanger has released a statement addressing Mr. Tabor's departure and has nothing further to add," according to spokesperson Blaine Kelley.

Tabor is a certified public accountant and a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. He is also a member of the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity and the Healthcare Financial Management Association, according to Becker's.

He holds a master's degree in business administration from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a bachelor of science degree in accounting from Tennessee Technological University.

Tabor did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
