Altru Health System hires Doug Arvin as new chief financial officer

Altru Health System has selected a new chief financial officer, filling a key executive role that was filled on an interim basis since a February leadership shakeup. Doug Arvin, a financial executive at the Georgia-based Wellstar Health System, will fill the CFO role beginning Nov. 30 — the Monday after Thanksgiving. Arvin will fill a crucial role for Altru Health System as it seeks new financial footing, both after its nine-figure hospital project was put on hold earlier this year and as the coronavirus pandemic has scrambled the normal financial order of health care institutions.
