Windsor
Dr. Joseph Perras was approved by the boards of both Mt. Ascutney and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health on Monday, hospital officials said today in a news release.
Perras, who will take the CEO job on Jan. 11, currently serves as the Windsor hospital’s chief medical officer, and before that practiced at Dartmouth-Hitchcock for 12 years, serving in internal medicine and as a founding physician within the hospital medicine practice.
Perras will take the reins from from Gay Landstrom, who as served as interim CEO at Mt. Ascutney since June, when former Ascutney chief executive Kevin Donovan left to run Laconia, N.H.-based LRGHealthcare.
Landstrom, who had served as chief nursing officer at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, is returning to Michigan to become chief nursing officer for the St. John Providence health system, the news release said.
