Greensboro-based Cone Health has named Chad Boore as the president of both Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington and Annie Penn Hospital in Reidsville.
Boore had been chief operating officer of MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center, a 300-bed regional referral and teaching hospital serving a 16-county region of Iowa and Minnesota. Located in Mason City, Iowa, it is part of Michigan-based Trinity Health, a Catholic-based health system that operates 92 hospitals in 22 states.
Boore will oversee the growth and operations at the 238-bed Alamance Regional Hospital, which had $1 billion in annual patient revenue in 2023; and at the 110-bed Annie Penn Hospital, which had $86.5 million in annual patient revenue in 2023.
Boore had been at MercyOne since August 2023. He had previously been the eastern region CEO of OSF HealthCare in Peoria, Illinois, and president of OSF St. Joseph Medical Center in Illinois. He has a bachelor’s degree from Truman State University in Missouri and an MBA with an emphasis in healthcare administration from the University of New Orleans.
Boore reports to interim CEO Bernie Sherry. Neither hospital had a dedicated president before Boore. Mark Gordon had responsibilities for both hospitals as regional vice president. Gordon became chief operating officer at the University of Vermont Health Network in October.
Last year, Cone Health completed its merger into Washington, D.C.-based Risant Health, ending 71 years of local ownership of the Gate City’s largest hospital operation. Risant Health was created by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, part of the Kaiser Permanente system, which has been a pioneer in the health-maintenance organization (HMO) industry. Risant committed a minimum of $1.4 billion in capital to Cone Health over the next five years and up to $300 million more over the 10 years following the closing date in December.
