THERE is a new boss overseeing the hospitals in the mid west.
Colette Cowan took up her new post as CEO of the University Limerick Hospitals group on Monday last. The position was vacated when the former CEO Anne Doherty took up a new position as CEO of Cork City Council.
Ms Cowan will take up the role at a turbulent time for the hospital group as it deals with an over stretched Emergency Department at the university Hospital Limerick, and expanding waiting lists.
The new CEO comes to the position however with a wealth of experience. She has over 26 years experience working in the Irish Health Service, 15 of which are in management and most recently was Acting CEO & Chief Director of Nursing and Midwifery for The Saolta University Healthcare Group (previously known as the West North West Hospitals Group).
