Cory Edmondson, president and CEO of Kerrville, Texas-based Peterson Health, will leave the system on Feb. 7 for a new role.
Mr. Edmondson was named president and CEO of Wichita Falls, Texas-based United Regional Health Care System, according to a Nov. 8 news release from Peterson Health.
Mr. Edmondson joined Peterson Health in 2019. During his tenure, he and his team developed new service lines and acquired land for future growth, among other accomplishments.
"This was one of the hardest decisions of my life, and I wasn't looking to make a change," Mr. Edmondson said in the release, adding that the move will bring him closer to his family. "I always said I would retire here unless God had other plans."
Peterson Health includes its 124-bed flagship hospital, Peterson Regional Medical Center, as well as ambulatory, hospice and home care services.
