Cape Cod Healthcare’s new hospital chief will confront revenue woes

Richard F. Salluzzo, MD, president and chief executive of Wellmont Health System, has been chosen as the new chief executive of Cape Cod Healthcare Inc. Cape Cod faces a shortfall of revenue in addition to layoffs and cutbacks, and has already undertaken a number of steps to control costs. While with Wellmont, a group of 12 hospitals in Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky, Saluzzo was credited with moving the system from a loss to a profit and for efforts to eliminate medical errors.
