METAIRIE, LA â Four months after it was purchased by LCMC Health, East Jefferson General Hospital in Metairie will get a new CEO.
Richard Tanzella, currently CEO of Piedmont Rockdale Hospital in Conyers, will take over the reins at the Metairie hospital on Feb. 1, LCMC said in a news release.
Tanzella will replace current East Jefferson CEO Gerald Parton, who guided the financially-troubled institution through its eventual purchase by LCMC Health. Parton will stay through the transition, the news release said.
Tanzella, a veteran hospital executive, has been the CEO of Piedmont Rockdale Hospital since 201.
âI am excited to join East Jefferson General Hospital during this significant transition to the LCMC Health family,â he said. âThis hospital holds a special place in the community it serves, and being in a position to lead the team in its cultural transformation during this historic time in health care is an opportunity I welcome.â

New Orleans-based LCMC Health, which added the Metairie hospital to its system this year, has announced Richard Tanzella as CEO. He fills a vacancy left by Gerald Parton, who is retiring at the end of this year.
Parton guided the financially struggling hospital into finding a private operator. Jefferson Parish voters approved the sale of the publicly-owned EJGH in August.
Tanzella will assume the role of CEO on Feb. 1, leading a staff of nearly 3,000 and managing a $100 million capital transformation, a news release said. As part of its acquisition, LCMC agreed to invest that amount in physical upgrades and technology at EJGH.
