Freeman Health System confirmed the hiring of Matthew Fry, president and CEO of Hospital Sisters Health System St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Illinois, as its new CEO.
Fry will take over April 1, replacing Paula Baker, whose stay at Freeman was extended when the last new CEO who was announced, Tom Keller, backed out before his December 1 starting date.
Fry has been at the Illinois hospital since September 19, 2022. Prior to that, he worked his way up the ranks with Sutter Health, a California-based group of 24 hospitals and more than 200 clinics.
His last position with Sutter Health was assistant administrator and chief operating officer at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland.
On his Linked In page, Fry said, "I'm passionate about doing my part to ensure that health care is affordable and accessible to the people in the communities that I serve."
