The 60-bed Andrews Memorial Hospital located along Hope Road in St Andrew will change leadership at the end of the month when Dr Patric Rutherford, who has been at the helm for the past 20 years, retires.
His successor, Dr Marvin Rouhotas, a specialist in tropical medicine, will be the new CEO and president on June 1. Dr Rouhotas, who is an American citizen, has more than 20 years leadership experience in hospital administration.
A trained health administrator with postgraduate degrees from both Loma Linda University in the United States of America and the Northern Caribbean University, Dr Rutherford first served as administrator but later assumed the position of president and CEO of the Seventh-day Adventist-owned hospital.
