University of Iowa Health Care announced it has named Timothy Kan as its first chief growth officer. In partnership with clinical department leaders, Kan will champion programs and services growth across UI Health Care with a focus on creating an integrated system of care that benefits all Iowans, the health system said in a release. Kan will begin Dec. 2 and report to Suresh Gunasekaran, associate vice president of UI Health Care and CEO of UI Hospitals & Clinics. With more than 20 years’ experience in enterprise and service line strategy, organizational integration and performance improvement, Kan most recently was a director at Navigant Consulting, where he led its strategy practice in the firm’s west region. “With more Iowans than ever seeking care from UI Health Care, it is key for us to have an experienced leader to help identify and guide new programs and opportunities that will better serve our patients,” Gunasekaran said.
