A little over two weeks after it was announced that Robert Earley would be retiring as president and CEO of JPS Health Network, Tarrant County’s tax-supported hospital district and health care system has announced his successor.
Effective Jan. 1, Dr. Karen Duncan will assume the role of president and CEO, according to a Nov. 18 release.
Per the announcement, Duncan is the network’s chief operating officer. She has been with JPS Health for five years, and according to the release, she most recently helped oversee the JPS Future Plan’s implementation. She also has been responsible for transforming the community health network of medical homes and clinics, per the release.
“It is a testament to the strength of JPS that we found the right person to lead the health network into the future within our own ranks,”said Dr. Charles Webber, the chair of the JPS board of managers, in the release. “Dr. Duncan has been a steadfast champion of providing our community with the care they need and deserve, and I look forward to her leadership.”
