Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- Mary Starmann-Harrison, president and CEO of HSHS, has shared her plans to retire in the second half of 2021. Starmann-Harrison has led the system for almost 10 years and will assist in transitioning her successor prior to her retirement in 2021. Korn Ferry has been retained to begin a national search for her replacement.
“Mary’s contributions to the HSHS ministry over the past decade have far exceeded the usual measures for success,” said Sister Jomary Trstensky, OSF, chair of Hospital Sisters Ministries. “In everything she undertook, she acted with passion and with a personal investment in the underlying HSHS mission. She maintained an absolute vigilance for the religious values of the organization even while she searched for new and contemporary ways of serving those entrusted to our care.”

That depends on approval from the FDA the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is authorized for emergency use but not approved for general use as of Tuesday, while a vaccine by Moderna could be authorized for emergency use by the end of the week and the eventual distribution plan for the vaccine.
Starmann-Harrison has led the system for almost ten years.
