The Ohio State University Medical Center has hired Summa Health System’s chief financial officer to fill the same role.
C. Michael Rutherford brings more than 30 years’ experience in healthcare to his new post. He’ll be responsible for the fiscal management of the center’s clinical operations and business enterprises, according to a statement.
Rutherford has worked at Akron’s Summa Health for the last 10 years. He’ll start at Ohio State on Jan. 4. He replaces the retiring John Stone.
Using Data to Help Healthcare Practices Succeed
A new report from Relatient, A Data-Driven Guide to Patient Access Succes, highlights how focusing on data accuracy and relevance can enhance the performance of healthcare practices.
“A search committee spent months looking at several of the country’s top financial strategists, and the members were very excited after talking to Michael,” said Dr. Steven Gabbe, CEO of OSU Medical Center. “He has very impressive experience and is certainly a rising star in his field.”
Rutherford was recognized as “CFO of the Year” by Crain’s Cleveland Business in 2009.
