Interim Chief Medical Officer appointed at WMC

Posted: Wed, Aug 7, 2013 7:39 PM

Dr. Steven Davis, a general surgeon at Winneshiek Medical Center, has been appointed the hospital's Interim Chief Medical Officer.  Dr. Davis will temporarily fill the position left open by the retirement of Dr. Susan Halter, who stepped down on July 1st.

Dr. Davis received his medical degree from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha.  He specialized in general surgery through his residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

WMC board members got an update Wednesday night on the search for a permanent Chief Medical Officer.  A search committee has been accepting applications for the position since shortly after Dr. Halter announced her retirement last December, but the group says it has so far not been able to come up with the right person for the position.
