Centura Health’s chief executive will step down Sept. 1 after leading the Centennial-based healthcare network for nine years.
Gary Campbell, the longest tenured CEO in Centura’s history, will be succeeded by chief operating officer Peter Banko, officials announced Monday.
“Centura Health has been truly blessed with Gary’s visionary leadership,” Centura Health board chairwoman Patricia Webb said in a statement. “His faithful commitment to our ministry and efforts to transform the delivery of health care have allowed us to optimize health value across our region and meet the needs of consumers.”
Following the leadership transition, Campbell plans to take on a special advisor role with Centura focused on leadership development and optimizing health value.
During Campbell’s tenure as CEO, Centura grew to 17 hospitals from 11 and expanded annual revenue to more than $3.5 billion, up from $1.8 billion, officials said.
