July 22, 2020 – Altru Health System’s (Grand Forks, ND) board of directors, in partnership with Altru’s President, Dr. Steven Weiser, have announced their plan for filling the organization’s CEO position. Dave Molmen will join Dr. Weiser in the executive dyad and serve as interim CEO through June 2021. Molmen has declined to receive a salary for this role through the end of 2020.
Beginning in January of 2021, the board will begin formal recruitment for a permanent CEO. As president and CEO, Dr. Weiser and Molmen will partner in the executive leadership and oversight of the organization.
Molmen’s appointment comes after former CEO Brad Wehe and former CFO Sara Lusignan left the health system in February. Altru did not provide reasons for their departures.
After the departures, Craig Faerber, former CFO of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Georgia, joined the organization as interim CFO, and Dr. Weiser took on all leadership responsibilities.
