Samaritan President/CEO Announces Resignation December 26, 2024 This month, Samaritan Health Services President and CEO Doug Boysen announced he is planning to step down from the role in 2025. Boysen has been working with the Samaritan Health Services board to develop a transition plan, which will begin with the recruitment of a new CEO for the system. System Board Chair Nancy Seifert, PhD, said, “It has been a distinct pleasure working so closely with Doug during the past seven years. He is an authentic, smart, mission-driven leader who has guided Samaritan through unforeseen challenges. We’re sorry to see him go, but glad to have the opportunity to partner with him to orchestrate a smooth transition for the system.” “The board has been incredibly supportive of me and the organization. I am grateful that they have given me the honor of being CEO of Samaritan,” Boysen said. “Together, we have built two new hospitals, navigated a world-wide pandemic, and developed many new clinical programs to enhance the health of the communities we serve. I have given it my all as a leader and feel it is the right time for new leadership at Samaritan.” Boysen has not announced the timing of his last day. He plans to remain in his role to support the transition once a new CEO has been identified. Photo caption: Doug Boysen, CEO of Samaritan Health Services, announced that he plans to resign in 2025.
