Friday, March 08, 2002
CINCINNATI -- William Kent has been appointed senior vice president, Clinical Care Delivery, a new position at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Mr. Kent comes to Cincinnati from Baltimore, Maryland, where he was president and chief executive officer of Johns Hopkins Medical Services Corporation (JHMSC).
JHMSC is a network of 18 primary care sites, with an annual volume of more than 390,000 visits. It is the largest referral source for specialty care and hospitalization at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Mr. Kent had held senior positions with JHMSC since 1995.
Recruiting for a senior vice president of Clinical Care Delivery was the first initiative of Cincinnati Children's strategic plan, which was completed in 2001. Mr. Kent will play an instrumental role in leading efforts to achieve the primary goal of that plan: to dramatically improve the delivery of care.
Kent was raised in Middletown, graduated from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, with a major in biology, and worked as a research assistant in the department of Microbiology at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. He earned a master's of health administration at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. After completing an administrative fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1989, he moved to the Johns Hopkins Hospital as manager of Ambulatory Care Operations.
