Loren will be working with Chad Pease and responsible for managing daily operations of the information services needs for the four hospitals and their associated clinics. One of his first duties will be working on the upcoming Epic implementations.

“I want to help people as much as I can,” said Loren. “I want to ensure our systems are working properly so we can all make a difference in the lives of our patients.”
