Six Richland Two students selected for Prisma Health Youth Apprenticeship Program. This summer, six Midlands Technical College (MTC) dual enrollment students from Richland School District Two were selected to become youth apprentices with Prisma Health. Through the Midlands Youth Apprenticeship Program, an innovative earn-and-learn model, these students will work as paid nursing support apprentices while completing their junior and senior years of high school. Amaya Gardner, Gabrielle Davis, Kyra Hicks, Betty Lawer, Taylor Macon, and Teresia Massawe This year marks the third cohort of Richland Two students to sign an apprenticeship with Prisma Health. The six students in the newest cohort are: · Gabrielle Davis, Westwood High School · Amaya Gardner, Westwood High School · Kyra Hicks, Blythewood High School · Betty Lawer, Blythewood High School · Taylor Macon, Ridge View High School · Teresia Massawe, Blythewood High School Each student navigated a highly competitive selection process that required developing professional resumes, writing cover letters, securing references, and participating in formal interviews. The apprenticeship program is a collaborative partnership between Richland School District Two, Prisma Health, Apprenticeship Carolina, and Midlands Technical College. Designed for students in the pre-nursing pathway, the program provides real-world clinical experience and direct training to prepare them for high-demand healthcare careers. Jenniferr Cain is the Director of College and Career Initiatives for Richland Two. "Together we're helping bridge the gap between the classroom and workplace and ensuring that our students graduate not only with knowledge, but meaningful experiences," said Cain. Apprentices balance a rigorous schedule that includes concurrent enrollment in high school courses and MTC college classes alongside their employment at Prisma Health. During the official signing day ceremony, Chelsea Chestnut, Nursing Academic Services Manager, Prisma Health and leaders from partner organizations celebrated the students' dedication and the program's impact. "The students will learn how to interact with patients, support the care team, and develop foundational patient care skills. They also gain valuable soft skills that extend far beyond the clinical setting," Chestnut said. The program starts this month.
Where departing health system CIOs are heading. Table of contents. Hospital and health system CIOs have been on the move throughout 2026, but a look at the recent wave of departures shows something more specific than routine turnover, revealing a distinct pattern among departing health system CIOs 2026 that goes beyond typical executive churn. The scale of this departing health system CIOs 2026 trend. Of the roughly 20 hospital and health system CIO moves Becker's has tracked in 2026, most departing executives aren't stepping into another CIO role. Several are retiring, moving into consulting or watching the position get folded into a broader digital title before a successor is named. Saad Chaudhry's move into consulting. Saad Chaudhry stepped down as St. Louis-based SSM Health's inaugural chief digital and information officer. He was named CEO of consulting firm Evergreen Healthcare Partners, illustrating one of the clearest examples of a departing CIO pivoting entirely away from the traditional hospital executive track. Shakeeb Akhter's lateral move within this trend. Shakeeb Akhter left his post as senior vice president and chief digital and information officer at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He's now chief digital officer at New York City-based Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a move that keeps him within a digital leadership role but at a different institution. Rich Rogers' retirement after 13 years. Rich Rogers retired as senior vice president and CIO of Greenville, S.C.-based Prisma Health after more than 13 years. He said on LinkedIn he plans to spend more time with family, serve on advisory boards and coach high school lacrosse, a retirement path distinct from the consulting or lateral digital-role moves seen elsewhere in this list. Michael Mover's departure within this departing health system CIOs 2026 pattern. Michael Mover resigned as CIO of Noblesville, Ind.-based Riverview Health. His next move hasn't been made public, leaving one notable gap in an otherwise transparent set of departures where most executives have publicly disclosed their next steps. The bigger trend: the title itself is splitting. The bigger trend in this batch is the title itself splitting. Nine executives took on roles built around "digital," including chief digital and information officer, chief digital officer or chief technology and digital officer. Nine others kept a straight CIO or vice president of IT and CIO title. Why thin succession planning shapes this story. The churn comes amid thin succession planning. A 2024 WittKieffer survey found 53% of healthcare CIOs have held their role three years or less, and just 39% of organizations report having a CIO succession plan. A quarter have none, and 36% say one is still in development. What this succession gap means for hospitals. With nearly two-thirds of organizations lacking a fully established CIO succession plan, and more than half of CIOs having held their current role for three years or less, institutions facing an unplanned departure may find themselves scrambling to fill critical technology leadership positions during precisely the period when AI adoption and digital transformation demand the most consistent strategic direction. What this departing health system CIOs 2026 trend means going forward. With roughly half of tracked 2026 departures moving toward "digital"-branded titles rather than traditional CIO roles, this pattern suggests hospitals are actively reshaping how they define technology leadership even as individual executives change organizations or leave the sector entirely. Given the persistent succession planning gap WittKieffer identified, organizations that haven't yet formalized a CIO transition plan may face increased pressure to do so as this wave of departures continues throughout 2026. What to watch going forward. As more institutions navigate CIO transitions, industry observers will likely watch whether the shift toward "digital" titles continues accelerating, and whether organizations with weaker succession planning face longer leadership vacancies or less smooth transitions than those with formal plans in place. Given examples like Chaudhry's move into consulting and Akhter's lateral shift to a peer institution, this departing health system CIOs 2026 trend may also signal growing demand for experienced healthcare IT executives across both traditional hospitals and the broader consulting and advisory market serving the industry.
Erlanger Health signs letter of intent to partner with Prisma Health. July 27, 2026- Erlanger Health System has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to enter into a strategic partnership with Prisma Health, a move that would expand Prisma's footprint into Tennessee while bringing a planned $2 billion investment to the Chattanooga-based health system. If finalized, the partnership would create a 27-hospital nonprofit system serving communities across South Carolina and Tennessee. The proposed investment is intended to accelerate Erlanger's strategic growth, modernize facilities, expand specialty services, enhance technology and strengthen workforce development. Leaders from both organizations emphasized that the partnership is designed to preserve Erlanger's mission, local leadership, academic medicine programs and safety-net services, including its Level I Trauma Center and Children's Hospital. Prisma Health also plans to establish its East Tennessee regional headquarters in Chattanooga, with Erlanger President and CEO Jim Coleman serving as Regional CEO for East Tennessee. The agreement remains subject to due diligence, a definitive agreement and approvals from Erlanger's governing boards, Hamilton County officials and state and federal regulators. Hospital leaders said patients, physicians and employees will see no immediate changes while the review process moves forward.
Erlanger seeks to join South Carolina health system in proposed $2 billion deal. Erlanger Health could become part of one of the Southeast's largest nonprofit health systems under a proposed partnership with South Carolina-based Prisma Health, a move leaders say would bring $2 billion in investments over 15 years and transform Chattanooga's flagship safety-net hospital. Health system leaders have signed a nonbinding letter of intent, beginning a 120-day due diligence period before the proposal can move forward. Any final agreement must still be approved by Erlanger's board, the Erlanger Health Oversight Panel, Hamilton County commissioners and state and federal regulators. Jim Coleman, Erlanger's president and CEO, said the agreement would allow much-needed upgrades to facilities and equipment, expand outpatient care and strengthen the health system's ability to keep up as the industry increasingly shifts away from traditional hospital campuses. "We see what we need every day, and we just can't write a check for it and buy it," Coleman said in an interview. Erlanger is the last remaining Chattanooga-based independent hospital system. Its primary competitors are part of much larger organizations - Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health, a national nonprofit health system, and Nashville-based HCA Healthcare, one of the nation's largest for-profit hospital companies - giving them access to substantially greater financial resources for expansion and capital projects. Dr. Christopher Poole, an Erlanger board member and medical staff leader who helped evaluate potential partners, said the health system is grappling not only with aging infrastructure but also mounting financial pressure from federal Medicaid cuts and state policy changes outside Erlanger's control. As a result, the board concluded it would be difficult to carry out its long-term modernization plans alone, he said. Those plans largely center on expanding Erlanger's outpatient footprint through standalone surgery and imaging centers. Poole said the proposed partnership would give Chattanooga-area patients access to the kinds of facilities, technology and specialty care commonly found in larger metropolitan areas. "The physicians here will be excited to have resources, to have the equipment and facilities that they need to provide the care for patients that we would want for our family members," he said. "And if you can do that, you can continue to recruit good, young, talented physicians to the area." The proposal comes three years after Erlanger moved from a public hospital authority to a private nonprofit organization, a transition leaders said gave the health system greater financial and strategic flexibility while preserving some public oversight. As part of that transition, Erlanger entered a 15-year mission agreement requiring it to preserve its role as a safety-net provider, teaching hospital and regional referral center while maintaining certain services, including its children's hospital and Level I trauma center. If the deal is approved, Erlanger will keep a local board for up to nine years and get two seats on Prisma's 11-member corporate board, Coleman said. "That was something they gave to give us a little more comfort, that there's going to be Chattanooga voice and direction from Chattanooga," Coleman said. Prisma would establish its East Tennessee regional headquarters in Chattanooga, where Coleman would serve as regional CEO. The health system already operates Blount Memorial Hospital in Maryville. Coleman said Erlanger considered multiple potential partners before selecting Prisma because leaders believed it best matched the health system's mission and long-term vision. Based in Greenville, Prisma Health is South Carolina's largest nonprofit health system, formed in 2017 through the merger of Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health. The system includes 20 hospitals, including specialty hospitals, more than 3,000 licensed beds and more than 490 physician practice sites while serving more than 1.6 million patients annually across South Carolina and Tennessee, according to the health system's 2025 fiscal year statistics. Like Erlanger, Prisma operates the only Level I adult trauma center in its region and has children's hospitals in both Greenville and Columbia with pediatric intensive care, neonatal intensive care and dozens of pediatric subspecialties. Prisma has felt like a partner from the beginning, Coleman said. "I've never heard the words... 'We're going to buy you out. We're taking you over.' That's not the attitude," he said, but he added, "That's what's happening. We're becoming part of the system for a huge investment. "But... they're going to profit from that investment, and so is Chattanooga," he said. Coleman said years of work by Erlanger employees transformed the health system into an attractive partner for a nonprofit organization with similar values, adding that the proposed deal would strengthen - not change - Erlanger's longstanding mission to care for all patients. All employees and medical staff in good standing will remain part of Erlanger for now and eventually move to Prisma's payroll and benefits system. At this time, nothing is changing for patients, and all appointments and services will continue as usual, he said. Details of co-branding are still in the works, but Erlanger will always be part of the name, he said. After four months of due diligence and signing an agreement, Coleman estimated it would take about a year to convert all of Erlanger's systems to theirs. "It's going to create lots of opportunities for the employees," Coleman said, referring to the outpatient facilities and expansion projects Erlanger hopes to build through the partnership. "All these new sites, we're going to be probably adding to our workforce instead of taking away from our workforce." Erlanger is launching a website, erlangerfuture.org, for those seeking information and updates.
