His predecessor at InterMed, McCormack, joined Martin’s Point Health Care last year and now serves there as chief operating officer, delivery systems.
InterMed selected Poitras after a national search, a spokesman told Mainebiz.
In a memo to staff, InterMed President Dr. Phyllidia Ku-Ruth commented: “Roger brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, and we are thrilled to have him join InterMed. He’s the right person to lead us as we emerge from the pandemic and renew our focus on strategic planning.”
In addition, InterMed announced it has promoted Stephanie Mills to chief legal and compliance officer and Dr. Michele Delenick as chief of internal medicine.
