Among the leadership at STHS Edinburg and STHS Children’s is the chief operating officer (COO), who manages the day-to-day operations of the hospitals while ensuring that the facilities meet their goals and serve the comprehensive needs of the community.
It’s a role Kennetha Foster is excited to take on.
Previously serving as STHS’ system chief nursing officer, Kennetha officially began serving as the chief operating officer at STHS Edinburg and STHS Children’s on Monday, January 13, bringing with her years of experience in the healthcare field, a wealth of knowledge in business administration and a keen sense of leadership.
“We’re proud to welcome someone of Kennetha’s caliber to STHS Edinburg and STHS Children’s,” says Lance Ames, Chief Executive Officer, STHS Edinburg & STHS Children’s. “She’s no stranger to STHS and we’re no strangers to the significance of her work during her time as our hospital system’s highest-ranking nurse, including nursing leadership oversight at our sister facility, STHS McAllen. Kennetha’s leadership played a significant role in driving meaningful improvements in quality and patient experience. We look forward to having that same driving force be a conduit of change for STHS Edinburg and STHS Children’s.”
