Lawrence, Kan.-based LMH Health has tapped Kirk Sloan, MD, as its new chief medical officer, effective March 6.
Dr. Sloan is an internal medicine specialist and a former United States Army Veteran. He is also a member of the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians.
Dr. Sloan joins LMH from St. Joseph Medical Center in Kansas City where he served as chief medical officer and lead hospitalist. He will also work part time in LMH's hospitalist program.
"He is an outstanding physician leader and the right fit for LMH Health. We had nine physicians involved with our CMO selection and all supported his candidacy for this role.
