OhioHealth announces leadership changes at Mansfield Hospital, Shelby Hospital
OhioHealth has announced Vinson M. Yates, president of OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital and OhioHealth Shelby Hospital, will retire Oct. 1, and his successor will be Curt Gingrich M.D., president of OhioHealth Marion General Hospital.
Yates joined OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital in 1987. During his tenure with OhioHealth, he served in various leadership positions, including as vice president of finance at both OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital and OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, president of Grant Medical Center, and senior vice president and chief financial officer at OhioHealth. In 2018, Yates became president of Mansfield Hospital and Shelby Hospital, according to a news release from OhioHealth.
In the last five years, Yates was instrumental in OhioHealth’s expansion of services in Richland, Crawford and Ashland counties. He said he has been humbled by the care sites’ numerous quality designations, topped off with Mansfield Hospital receiving its first Magnet Designation from the American Nursing Credentialing Center in June.
“I’ve been so blessed to work for an organization that fulfills its mission ‘to improve the health of those we serve’ every day,” Yates said. “Mansfield Hospital and Shelby Hospital have engaged associates and providers, who truly care about their patients and our community. The current leadership team, along with Gingrich, will ensure that our hospitals and all of our ambulatory sites continue to provide the best care well into the future.”
Gingrich served as president of Marion hospital
A veteran OhioHealth leader, Gingrich served as president of Marion General Hospital for the past five years and has been in leadership at OhioHealth for more than 15 years. He will be transitioning away from his role in Marion to return to Mansfield Hospital and Shelby Hospital, where he served as regional vice president of medical affairs from 2016 to 2018.
“I am excited to return to Mansfield Hospital and Shelby Hospital,” said Gingrich. “Vinson is a true colleague and friend, and I look forward to continuing his commitment as well as the commitment of the associates, providers, and the rest of the leadership team to ensure that OhioHealth is providing the best care possible for the communities we serve. Our care sites are well-positioned for continued success.”
Yates and Gingrich will be working closely together over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition. A successor for Gingrich has not yet been named.
