Kevin Cullinan of Little Rock was recently promoted to the position of vice president of ancillary and support services at CHI St. Vincent.
Cullinan has been with CHI St. Vincent since 2012 and was previously the market director of orthopedics and perioperative services. As vice president of ancillary and support services, he will continue to oversee CHI St. Vincent’s orthopedics program, perioperative services, respiratory therapy, rehab services, and patient access. In addition to continuing those responsibilities, with this promotion, Cullinan has operational oversight for imaging, clinical engineering, facilities, and security for CHI St. Vincent.
“Kevin is a proven leader who has willingly stepped up to take on additional responsibilities during his time at CHI St. Vincent,” said Polly Davenport, president of CHl St. Vincent Infirmary. “We are glad to have him at the helm of an important part of our ministry.”
Earlier this year, Cullinan was named one of just 11 recipients of the prestigious “Tomorrow’s Leaders” award from the Catholic Health Association. He is recognized as an expert in managing bundled payments for joint replacements and is a frequent speaker on the topic at events across the country.
