SALISBURY – TidalHealth is pleased to announce key leadership changes within the Finance Division as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the health system and support the organization’s continued growth.
Stephanie Gary has been elevated from Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to Senior Vice President of Finance/CFO. Gary joined TidalHealth in 2021. She is just the second person to hold the title of Senior VP of Finance/CFO, and only the third CFO in TidalHealth’s history. Gary’s leadership and dedication have been instrumental in advancing TidalHealth’s financial strategy, and her new role will help guide the organization through its next phase of growth, including the anticipated addition of Atlantic General Hospital to the health system in the spring of this year.
Kathy Talbot has been promoted from Assistant Vice President (AVP) to Vice President, Finance, and Chief Revenue Integrity Officer. Talbot, who joined TidalHealth in 2022, has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic insight in her previous role, and this promotion will further enhance TidalHealth’s financial operations. She will continue to oversee budget cost & reimbursement, tax/treasury, health information management and other areas of finance as TidalHealth continues its journey to improve processes and invest in technology to make it more efficient.
Steve Tracey has been advanced from Assistant Vice President (AVP) to Vice President, Corporate Ventures and President of Peninsula Health Ventures. He has been with TidalHealth since 2023. Steve’s vision and dedication to expanding TidalHealth’s corporate ventures will play a critical role in driving new opportunities for innovation and healthcare partnerships as the health system expands. Collaborating with TidalHealth in Peninsula Health Ventures are Peninsula Imaging, LLC, TidalHealth Home Care, American HomePatient of Delmarva, Your Doc’s In, and the POA Surgery Center.
The promotions also create seats on the Executive Team for both Talbot and Tracey.
“These changes reflect TidalHealth’s continued focus on growth, excellence, and fostering a strong leadership team. We congratulate Stephanie, Kathy, and Steve on their well-deserved promotions and look forward to their continued contributions to our commitment to excellence in financial management and corporate strategy,” said Steve Leonard, Ph.D., MBA, FACHE, President/CEO of TidalHealth.
