Frank Perez-Guerra named CEO of Gundersen Moundview Hospital and Clinics

Wisconsin-based Gundersen Health System announced Fran Perez-Guerra, MD, a veteran of the institution, as chief executive officer of the Gundersen Moundview Hospital and Clinics. 

Perez-Guerra brings to the role more than 20 years of experience within Gunderson Health System.

"Gundersen Health System has built a reputation over the years for doing the right thing for rural healthcare," Perez-Guerra said in a prepared statement.

Perez-Guerra previously worked within the System in the areas of medical and support staff recruitment, employee and labor relations, and the Gundersen Child Care Center.
