Upper Peninsula Health System in Marquette has named a new chief operating officer, Jeff Perry.
The new administrator will work with CEO Ed Banos to manage and develop hospital operations in Marquette.
"Jeff will help us in overall operational management and with continued development of organizational structure, working closely with the department directors that are reporting to him," says Banos.
Perry previously was COO at Legacy Community Health Services in Houston, Texas, where he was in charge of operations for 20 clinics covering the full range of medical care. He also has COO and chief nursing officer experience from the Oklahoma State University Medical Center.
Before moving into administration, Perry had a background as an RN and an active-duty combat medic in the U.S. Army. He has a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in nursing from the University of Texas Health Science Center, and he is working on his doctorate in health administration from Central Michigan University.
