Eileen Skinner, president and CEO of Mercy Hospital and senior vice president of EMHS, will step down effective March 31, the parent hospital group said Monday.
Skinner has been working with Mercy Hospital since 2002 and was credited by Hood in a release for spearheading the completion of Mercy’s $162 million Fore River Parkway campus expansion in 2008, according to the Portland Press Herald.
M. Michelle Hood, president and CEO of Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, recognized Skinner’s contribution to Mercy’s merger into its parent company EMHS in 2013 in order to support population health, achieve scale and enhance Mercy’s access to capital.
“She is known as a strong advocate for the Mercy mission to provide service to the community and the poor and disadvantaged,” Hood said in a statement. “We are appreciative for the dedicated service, strategic value, and organizational skills she has brought to Mercy. We wish her well in whatever she pursues and know that she will be successful.”
A search for a new senior executive leader based at Mercy will be launched immediately, according to the release. During the search, Mercy will be overseen by EMHS Chief Operating Officer Jay Eckersley, with assistance from Mercy and EMHS executive leadership.
In a statement announcing her resignation, Skinner said that she is looking forward to the next step in her career.
“It has been my privilege to work alongside some extraordinarily talented and dedicated people at both Mercy and EMHS; I cannot thank them enough for their devotion to the mission and their hard work,” Skinner said in a prepared statement. “I have learned much more from them and their daily inspiration than they ever learned from me. I will take that knowledge and inspiration into my next career endeavor.”
