“It was evident to me that Memorial Health is here to serve its community, and the mission of this health system aligns so well with my top priorities. Those priorities include ensuring the delivery of high-quality patient care, a passion for advancing health equity and driving innovation to improve both the patient and caregiver experience,” Eaton said. “I’m excited to build on the great work that has been done here and to help Memorial Health build an exciting and innovative new future.”
