View Comments
BREMERTON Matt Wheelus, the operations chief who oversaw the relocation of Bremerton s Harrison Medical Center campus to a new regional home in Silverdale, is departing the company for a new job in May.
Wheelus will soon become regional vice president of operations for United Surgical Partners International, a health care provider specializing in ambulatory care. The organization has some 450 care facilities across 30 states. The job will allow Wheelus to continue to live in the Gig Harbor area.
He called the decision to leave bittersweet. It was a great opportunity I couldn t pass up, he said. But I will miss working with the teams and the staff here. It s been an incredible journey with Franciscan and St. Michael.
