Important EVMS Medical Group Leadership Update
Brant Cox, MBA, will be stepping away from the role of Interim CEO of EVMS Medical Group to focus exclusively on his position as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
“We offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Cox for his recent service as Interim CEO of the EVMS Medical Group,” Alfred Abuhamad, MD, President, Provost and Dean of the School of Medicine says. “Mr. Cox stepped forward after the departure of our previous CEO to provide critical leadership and stability during a time of significant transition at Eastern Virginia Medical School and the EVMS Medical Group.”
With Mr. Cox’s help, EVMS recruited Seth Sharpe as Interim Chief Operating Officer for the medical group. As Mr. Cox moves out of the CEO role, Mr. Sharpe will oversee day-to-day clinical operations working in conjunction with Dr. Barry Strasnick, EVMS Medical Group Medical Director, who will assume an expanded leadership role within the medical group.
“Please join me in thanking Mr. Cox for his impressive leadership and for providing much-needed stability for our clinical service lines during this transition” says Dr. Abuhamad. “We look forward to his outstanding work continuing within the Office of the President to help us ensure a successful affiliation and integration process with ODU.”
