An executive from Sentara Health will temporarily take over at the UVA Health University Medical Center following the recent departure of Wendy Horton.
Teresa L. Edwards has been appointed interim chief executive officer.
“We are delighted to welcome Teresa Edwards to our organization,” a press release quotes Mitchell Rosner, MD, interim executive vice president for health affairs at the UVA. “Terrie brings her energy, expertise, and experience to UVA Health and will lead a team dedicated to our community and to the highest quality of patient care and safety.”
Edwards has most recently been the senior vice president and regional president of Sentara’s eastern division, responsible for five hospitals. In 2023 and 2024, Edwards served as Sentara’s interim president for acute and post-acute delivery. She’ll begin work at UVA on September 15.
“Serving as interim CEO of UVA Health’s University Medical Center is a hugely exciting opportunity,” the release quotes Edwards. “I look forward to working with all the team members to build on the exceptional patient care UVA Health already offers for patients across Virginia and beyond.”
According to the Cavalier Daily, Horton had been serving in her position since 2020. She left the position to become senior vice president and president of adult care services at the University of California South Francisco.
