MIAMI, FL: Jackson Health System appoints new strategic head

With board members expressing concerns about plans to build revenue, Jackson Health System has moved quickly to rebuild its executive team, announcing that a veteran hospital executive, Jeffrey Crudele, will replace Chief Strategy Officer Donn Szaro, who died unexpectedly in March. Crudele, of Milton, GA, has been a chief financial officer in the HCA hospital chain, including a stint at the Cedars Medical Center, across the street from Jackson Memorial Hospital. From 1997 to 2000, he was chief financial officer of the Memorial Healthcare System in South Broward.
