Doug Hooten—CEO of Harris County Emergency Services District No. 11 Mobile Healthcare—resigned from his position effective immediately Sept. 20, district officials confirmed Sept. 21.
According to ESD 11 Community Engagement Manager Jerry Thomas, the district has asked ESD 11 Chief Operating Officer Jamie Chebra to serve as interim CEO until a new CEO is identified. Thomas noted the district’s board of commissioners will formalize Hooten’s resignation and the appointment of Chebra as interim CEO at its Sept. 27 meeting.
Thomas noted he was unaware of the reason for Hooten's resignation but said more information would likely be presented at the Sept. 27 meeting.
