LA MESA
Christian T. Wallis, who has more than 25 years of experience in the health care field, was named the new CEO of the Grossmont Healthcare District on Monday.
The district’s five-member Board of Directors unanimously approved a two-year contract for Wallis.
Wallis, who lives in the village of Grayslake, Ill., 40 miles north of Chicago, will start May 17 with a salary of $215,000, according to the district.
He takes over for Barry Jantz, who was the public health care district’s leader since 2004. Jantz retired in March of this year, but stayed on as a contracted worker until a replacement was found.
