SEATTLE: Seattle Children's names new President

Seattle Children's named Lisa Brandenburg hospital president. Effective immediately, Brandenburg will leave her five year role as hospital chief administrative officer (CAO) to take on the new leadership position. Brandenburg has 21 years experience leading complex service organizations, including the University of Washington Medical Center. Brandenburg replaces former hospital president and COO Pat Hagan who after more than 15 years of service resigned from his position last January to serve as a Continuous Performance Improvement (CPI) consultant. In addition to CAO, Brandenburg has been serving as interim president since Hagan's departure.
