Beaumont CEO John Fox Hey, Beaumont Health CEO John Fox: You’re an accountant, I’m a writer, and I’m going to explain your current situation in language so simple that even the numerical side of your brain can easily process and understand. Most of the people working at Michigan’s biggest hospital network just aren’t into you. They never have been. Your first clue should have come in December 2019 when Marc Sakwa, a nationally renowned cardiac surgeon who was beloved by the medical staff, his patients, and the prestigious donors he attracted, resigned and moved to southern California. Unlike yourself, Sakwa was born in the Detroit area and had strong ties to southeastern Michigan. While you maintain that Sakwa left because of revenue sharing issues, multiple people have told me he left because he was disgusted with your leadership.

John Kerndl and Denise Waters Beaumont Health CFO John Kerndl, the architect of aggressive cost-cutting that bolstered the profits of Michigan’s biggest hospital network at the expense of its once world-class reputation, has resigned. He’s relocating to Boston to join Beth Israel Lahey Health System, a highly regarded hospital network. Beaumont CEO John Fox disclosed Kerndl’s departure in an email to staff this morning. Kerndl’s resignation is effective March 16, one day after the supposed Beaumont deadline for paying out executive bonuses for the previous year.
