LifePoint Health Promotes Two Executive Leaders

Jason Zachariah and Aaron Lewis, who have both served in leadership roles for the organization, were recently promoted.

LifePoint Health has promoted two of its current leaders to serve as executive leaders for the healthcare delivery network.

Jason Zachariah, who previously served as president of integrated solutions, will now serve as the organization's executive vice president and chief operating officer. Aaron Lewis, who served as senior vice president of care continuum and business transformation, will now serve as executive vice president of growth and integrated solutions.

"Jason and Aaron are two accomplished leaders who prioritize quality patient care while maintaining a commitment to growth and constant innovation that improves healthcare delivery within the communities we serve and beyond," LifePoint CEO, David Dill, said in a statement.

Zachariah and Lewis' promotions follow the retirement of LifePoint's previous president of hospital operations, Victor Giovanetti, who has been with LifePoint for almost a decade.

As executive vice president and COO, Zachariah will lead LifePoint's operations in their key lines of business, which include acute care, rehabilitation and behavioral health, quality and clinical services, and integrated revenue management.

Prior to joining LifePoint in 2021, he served as president and COO of Kindred Healthcare, a post-acute healthcare services company which was acquired by LifePoint in 2021.

"It has been and honor to be a part of the growing LifePoint team the past several months, and I’m eager to work more closely with our acute care hospital teams as well as our rehabilitation and behavioral health teams to advance our mission of Making Communities Healthier," Zachariah said in a statement. "Healthcare is at a pivotal moment, and I believe that LifePoint is poised to pave the way for how care is delivered across the continuum in communities across the country."

In his new role as executive vice president of growth and integrated solutions, Lewis will maintain some of his current responsibilities, while also overseeing the functions of integrated solutions, along with the organization's marketing, development, innovation, and information technology.

Lewis joined LifePoint in 2018 as the senior vice president of physician enterprise and strategic growth, and prior to that served as senior vice president of strategic growth for RCCH HealthCare Partners, a healthcare services company which merged with LifePoint in 2018.

"I have seen the company grow and evolve while constantly striving to find new ways to support its teams and its communities," Lewis said in a statement. "We have many great opportunities ahead and I’m excited to work with our leaders, clinicians, partners and communities to think about healthcare differently and expand the care and services people receive close to home."
