Phil Wheeler assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer and he will be supported by Clarice Cable, the newly appointed assistant vice president of finance.
Atrium Health Floyd, a healthcare system for northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama has appointed two new executives to lead the organization’s financial strategies.
Phil Wheeler assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer on May 31, making the move to Floyd after serving as CFO for Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center since 2019.
"We are delighted that Phil is joining our team and look forward to the knowledge and experience he will bring to us," Kurt Stuenkel, CEO of Atrium Health Floyd, said in a release.
Wheeler will report to CEO Stuenkel and Anthony DeFurio, who serves as the executive vice president and chief financial officer for Atrium Health. Atrium Health and Floyd completed their combination in July of 2021, to improve patient access to care in the northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama regions. The two healthcare providers announced their partnership back in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic had stalled their efforts.
Clarice Cable is also moving up within the Atrium Health Floyd community. She has been promoted to assistant vice president of finance at Atrium Health Floyd. She has served as Interim CFO at Atrium Health Floyd for the last two years as the health system navigated the pandemic and the strategic combination with Atrium Health.
“We want to recognize Clarice for the great job she has done," Stuenkel said. "She will give support to Phil as he transitions into his new role and will continue her excellent work."
