Trinity Health of New England said its new president and CEO begins Monday leading the recently formed regional system, which counts St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center as its flagship.
Dr. Reginald J. Eadie, named to the position in January, succeeds Roger Spoelman who served in an interim role after former President and CEO Christopher Dadlez resigned at the end of 2017.
With more than 20 years of healthcare experience, Eadie most recently served as chief operating officer at Detroit Medical Center, a seven-hospital, tenet-owned regional system in Michigan. He previously led several of the system’s hospitals as CEO.
Kevin J. O’Connor, chairman of the regional system’s board of directors, said Eadie is known for managing “complex” hospital operations and is an expert in clinical integration and transformation.
“We are confident his talents will not only support the advances we have already made around strategic alignment and integration, but will also help us accelerate efforts to reach new levels of service to our community through the delivery of people-centered care,” O’Connor said.
Eadie, a Detroit native, earned his medical degree from Wayne State University and is certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He also has an executive master’s degree in business administration from Michigan State University and a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from South Carolina State University.
Besides St. Francis, the Trinity Health of New England system includes Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital in Hartford, Johnson Memorial Hospital and Home & Community Health Services in Stafford Springs, St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury, Mercy Medical Center in Springfield, Mass., Providence Behavioral Health Hospital in Holyoke, Mass., Weldon Rehabilitation Hospital in Springfield, and Brightside for Families and Children.
