The CEO of Utah’s largest hospital system has announced plans to step down.
Dr. Marc Harrison will step down as the president and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare this fall, a leadership position he has held since 2016, the company said in a statement Thursday. Intermountain Healthcare is based in Salt Lake City and has about 42,000 Utah employees.
Harrison is leaving Intermountain Healthcare for a leadership position to run a health care platform for the venture capital firm General Catalyst, according to the statement.
“Marc [Harrison] has helped spur innovation across our organization during his six-year tenure. We are better today because of his outstanding leadership,” the chair of the Intermountain Healthcare Board, former Governor of Utah Mike Leavitt, said in a statement.
The nonprofit’s board plans to find a temporary replacement for Harrison as it seeks its next CEO.
Harrison had a form of blood cancer that left him immunocompromised and urged Utahns to get vaccinated to protect him and others with similar conditions. After a bone marrow transplant and experimental CAR T-cell therapy, his cancer has been in remission, The Salt Lake Tribune reported last year.
Intermountain Healthcare merged with Colorado-based SCL Health in April to form a network that the company said in an announcement comprises of 59,000 caregivers and 33 hospitals across seven states.
