SPOKANE, Wash. — MultiCare Health System announced today that Dr. David O’Brien, senior vice president and chief executive of MultiCare’s Inland Northwest region, has been named the chief executive for MultiCare’s South Sound region.
In his new role, O’Brien will oversee MultiCare Tacoma General, Allenmore and Good Samaritan hospitals, as well as MultiCare’s Auburn and Covington medical centers and MultiCare’s South Sound medical group.
“I have deeply loved being in Spokane and working with MultiCare’s Inland Northwest team. I think MultiCare as a system is in a really good place and I’m optimistic about the future,” he said. “I am looking forward to this new chapter in my work to support the communities MultiCare serves.”
O’Brien joined MultiCare in 2017 and led the transition of Deaconess Hospital, Valley Hospital and Rockwood Clinic from the for-profit Community Health Systems to MultiCare not-for-profit community focused health system.
