LEXINGTON, Ky. — CHI Saint Joseph Health announced today Matt Grimshaw, MBA, has been selected market president for the health system following a national search and will begin in mid-December.
He is currently market president of Trinity Health System in Steubenville, Ohio.
“Matt is passionate about delivering excellent health care services to those in need and has successfully navigated a wide range of strategic challenges during his tenure with Trinity,” said Doug Lawson, South Region president for CommonSpirit Health. “He made a significant impact on the Ohio health care landscape, and I am pleased that we will retain his passion and talent in the region.”
Both CHI Saint Joseph Health and Trinity Health System are a part of the South Region of CommonSpirit Health, one of the largest U.S. health care systems with 137 hospitals and 1,000-plus care centers across 21 states. It was created by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health as a single ministry in 2019.
“I am humbled and honored to be selected for this position,” Grimshaw said. “My priority for the past seven years has been to position Trinity Health System for long-term success. With the opening of our new tower, strengthened clinical programs, medical education and the new St. Clairsville Neighborhood hospital set to open next summer, I am confident the Trinity Health System team is ready for the next chapter.
“I am excited to be joining the excellent team at Saint Joseph Health and to being a part of continuing their nearly 150 year legacy of providing quality health care in the region,” Grimshaw said.
