PORTLAND — Legacy Health has announced Kathryn Correia as its next president and CEO, effective in June.

Correia will succeed Dr. George Brown, who has served since 2008.

Correia served as CEO of HealthEast, a health system serving the east-metro area of Minneapolis until 2017, when she led the organization’s successful merger with Fairview Health Services — creating the largest health system in Minnesota. Following the merger, Correia became Fairview Health Services’ chief administrative officer, according to a Legacy news release.

Correia holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and literature from Denison University in Granville, Ohio, and a Master’s of Health Administration degree from The Ohio State University. She also has a Certificate of Health Systems Management from Harvard.

Correia was chosen through a nationwide search process led by the Legacy Health Board of Directors’ CEO search committee. Legacy Health is a local nonprofit health system with six hospitals, including Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center in Vancouver.
