DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) has completed
the acquisition of Emanuel Medical Center, a 209-bed hospital in
Turlock, Calif., located about 100 miles southeast of San Francisco. The
addition of Emanuel Medical Center complements the wide range of
healthcare services provided by two other Tenet hospitals in the Central
Valley – Doctors Medical Center of Modesto and Doctors Hospital of
Manteca. Together, the three hospitals will improve the efficiency and
coordination of healthcare delivery in their local communities.
“We are pleased to add Emanuel Medical Center to our network of patient
care services in California’s Central Valley, and look forward to
working with the team of dedicated physicians and staff to expand
healthcare services in the area,” said Britt T. Reynolds, president of
hospital operations at Tenet.
Tenet acquired the hospital from Covenant Ministries of Benevolence, a
family of Evangelical Covenant Church ministries.
“We selected Tenet to be the new owner of Emanuel Medical Center because
we wanted to ensure that this vital community asset continues to serve
Turlock for many decades to come,” said David Dwight, President,
Covenant Ministries of Benevolence. “We are confident that we are
leaving Emanuel Medical Center in good hands and that Tenet will be
a dedicated and responsible steward of the hospital.”
Tenet also has named Susan Micheletti as Emanuel Medical Center’s new
chief executive officer, effective today. Micheletti, a highly
experienced hospital executive, joins Emanuel Medical Center from San
Ramon Regional Medical Center, Tenet’s 123-bed acute care hospital in
San Ramon, Calif. where she served as chief operating officer since June
2000. She joined San Ramon Regional Medical Center as controller when it
opened in 1990 and was promoted to chief financial officer. Micheletti
earned a bachelor of science degree in accounting and a master’s degree
in business administration, both from Santa Clara University.
“Sue Micheletti is a great fit with Emanuel Medical Center,” added
Reynolds. “She is highly regarded by both employees and physicians at
San Ramon Regional Medical Center, where she was primarily responsible
for ensuring operational excellence in the daily activities of the
hospital. She brings a wealth of talent, experience and energy to her
new position at Emanuel Medical Center.”
Opened in 1917, Emanuel Medical Center is a comprehensive community
hospital with services that include emergency, critical care, labor and
delivery, pediatrics, cardiology and surgery. Emanuel will retain its
affiliation with the Evangelical Covenant Church and its faith-based
culture and practices.
Emanuel Medical Center is the 80th hospital in Tenet’s national network
and its 12th in California. Last month, Tenet completed the acquisition
of Texas Regional Medical Center in Sunnyvale, Texas and opened Resolute
Health Hospital in New Braunfels, Texas. Earlier this week, Tenet opened
the DMC Heart Hospital in Detroit.
