I look forward to driving innovation and ensuring our teams have the tools and resources they need to deliver that exceptional care.”
Mr. Koos has more than 22 years of leadership experience in health care supply chain management, most recently at Sharp Health Care in San Diego, Calif., where he served as its vice president and chief supply chain officer.
