Kaweah Delta CEO Receives Church Assignment; Search Process Initiated For Replacement

In follow-up to a Dec. 15 announcement that Kaweah Delta CEO Lindsay Mann had accepted a call to serve as a mission president for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in a Spanish-speaking area, Mann and his wife, Lesa, have received their assignment.

The couple will preside over the Mexico City South East Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

"We are honored to have received this call to serve and thrilled with our assignment to serve in Mexico City," said Mann. "It has been a tremendous privilege to serve as Kaweah Delta’s CEO and to have been involved with each of you in developing a healthcare system that is truly remarkable relative to the breadth and caliber of services which we offer. Thank you for your support and hard work in making our many plans over the years become a reality!"

Relative to the future, Kaweah Delta’s Board of Directors met on Dec.19, and concluded that it will conduct both an internal and external search for Kaweah Delta’s new chief executive officer. This process has now been initiated and will take place during the coming months. During the next several months Mann will continue in his role as CEO and will likely conclude his leadership at Kaweah Delta on or about March 31, 2017.

This will provide adequate time for Mann's successor to prepare for and assume his or her role and for Mann to prepare for his new leadership responsibilities in Mexico City.

"Relative to the months ahead, let’s make them the very best by continuing to provide our patients and their families with the best health care available in the Central Valley," Mann told staff. "I am proud of all you do - and do so well! Relative to the future I have every confidence that Kaweah Delta’s Board of Directors will make an outstanding decision relative to selection of our future CEO. Kaweah Delta certainly has a very bright future ahead - and you have a critical role to play in that future!"
