Memorial Health announced the selection of its new Chief Operating Officer effective upon closing - Matthew Hasbrouck.

“We continue to make great progress toward an integration into HCA Healthcare’s South Atlantic Division,” said Interim CEO Kerry Watson. “With the selection of Matt as Incoming COO, we are one step closer to solidifying our long-term leadership to take Memorial Health into a very successful future.”

Upon completion of the integration, Hasbrouck will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer. In the coming weeks, he will be working closely with Watson and with incoming Chief Executive Officer Shayne George on transition planning.

Hasbrouck started his HCA Healthcare career at St. Mark’s Hospital in Salt Lake City before being promoted to serve as COO for the South Atlantic Division’s Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin, GA. For the past two years, he has served in the COO role for HCA’s Trident Medical Center in Charleston, SC. During his tenure at Trident, Hasbrouck expanded the hospital’s elite cardiac, cancer and stroke services, including the launch of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, the Watchman Device Program and stroke Endovascular services. Most recently, Hasbrouck guided the Trident Cancer Center in the launch of a comprehensive, integrated breast multidisciplinary clinic that ensures recently diagnosed patients and their families meet with the full treatment team within the first week after diagnosis to discuss the most effective treatment plan.

“Matt has been a rising star for HCA Healthcare and I’m thrilled that he will be joining me at Memorial Health following this integration,” said incoming CEO Shayne George. “We are both tremendously impressed with the compassionate care this team delivers to hundreds every day and eager to get started in supporting this team of skilled caregivers.”
