Roy Santarella has been named chief financial officer for Stanford Hospital & Clinics. He succeeds Ken Sharigian, who has been named vice president for physician organization and business planning.

"We are fortunate to have Roy on our senior management team," said Michael Peterson, interim president and CEO of Stanford Hospital & Clinics. "His leadership role and experience will serve us well as we continue taking positive steps to brighten our financial forecast."

Santarella comes to Stanford from Prograde Technologies, a health-care connectivity solutions provider where he was owner and president. Prior to his time there, he served as executive vice president, chief operating officer and CFO at Mercy Health System in Ohio for 12 years and as senior vice president, COO and CFO at the Iowa Health System. Santarella has served as acting CFO here since July.

In his new role, Sharigian is now responsible for developing and managing an organizational structure for physicians and overseeing strategic and business planning. Sharigian has held several executive positions in the medical center and has also held positions with Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the Nevada Mental Health Institute. He most recently served as CFO for both Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.

"Ken has exceptional management, organizational and financial planning skills," noted Peterson. "I am pleased that we have someone of his caliber working in these important areas."
