Dux no longer River Park CEO

| |
River Park Hospital and parent company Capella Healthcare announced Friday that Christopher W. Dux has decided to pursue career interests other than his role as River Park chief executive officer.

Dux had been in the position since December 2005.

Ernie Bacon has been named interim CEO and will remain in the position until a full-time replacement is named. Bacon returns to River Park where he served in the same interim capacity immediately preceding Dux?s arrival.

?Mr. Dux provided strong leadership as the CEO of River Park and we wish him the best in his future endeavors,? said Tom Pemberton, Capella Healthcare chief operating officer. ?While River Park and Capella will miss Chris? abilities, we look forward to moving ahead to ensure that River Park provides the highest quality of care to the people of Warren County.?

Bacon returns to River Park with a long history in healthcare administration. He has served in an interim administrator capacity for several hospitals throughout the country and has most recently served as a consultant focusing on healthcare operations and senior executive coaching.

River Park Hospital is a 125-licensed bed facility that is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. River Park serves over 115,000 residents in an eight-county region.
