A new President of operations and strategy as well as a Region Leader for SoCal have been selected by Providence health system this week. 

Erik G. Wexler, previously the chief executive of Providence Southern California, was named president of operations and strategy for their southern operations. Kevin Manemann, the former regional chief executive of physician enterprise, will step into Wexler’s regional leadership role, effective March first. 

“This new structure drives the Providence goal to provide seamless, quality care for our communities, from choosing a primary care provider to hospital visits to specialty care and all the auxiliary services that health journey involves,” Wexler said in a statement Wednesday. “I’m looking forward to becoming more acquainted with our operations in Northern California, Texas and New Mexico, and identifying best practices developed through quality and innovation, that we can share across Providence.”
