After a little more than a year on the job, a Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH) board member is stepping down for health reasons.
Dr. James Mongan’s resignation comes “due to health-related reasons,” and “is not the result of any disagreement with [Cardinal] on any matter relating to the [its] operations, policies or practices,” according to a regulatory filing.
Mongan joined Cardinal’s board in January 2010. Mongan retired in 2009 from his post as CEO of Boston’s prominent Partners HealthCare System, a role he’d held since 2003. Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital founded Partners.
Modern Healthcare named Mongan as the No. 1 most powerful physician-executive in 2008. He’d been ranked in the top 10 since 2004.
