Kimberly Hunter has been named interim CEO of the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics starting on March 1st following the departure of current CEO Suresh Gunasekaran.

Hunter joined the UIHC nearly a year ago as chief nurse executive, bringing more than 30 years of health care management experience to the organization—including nearly 20 years collective experience at two of the nation’s top-ranked hospitals: Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.

Gunasekaran says he will continue to lead the UIHC through his departure at the end of February, working closely with Hunter to ensure a smooth transition. UI Health Care expects to launch a national search for the permanent CEO position shortly.
