Memorial Hermann Appoints New Leaders By BETH SARTORI Memorial Hermann Healthcare System Juanita F. Romans has been appointed senior vice president of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System and chief executive officer of Memorial Hermann Hospital. Romans has been vice president and chief operating officer of Memorial Hermann Hospital since May 2001 and is the first woman appointed to the organization’s senior executive council. She has nearly 20 years of clinical and administrative experience. Prior to joining Memorial Hermann, Romans was an executive vice president with Evanston Northwestern Healthcare, a three-hospital system affiliated with Northwestern University Medical School in Evanston, Ill. She holds a master’s degree in nursing from Wayne State University and is an associate in the American College of Healthcare Executives. She serves on the board of Houston’s South Main Center Association. “In her tenure as vice president and chief operating officer of Memorial Hermann Hospital, Juanita has proven to be an extremely competent and popular leader,” said Memorial Hermann Healthcare System President and CEO Daniel J. Wolterman. “She has cultivated excellent relationships with our board members, The University of Texas Health Science Center leaders, and with the medical staff, employees and the community.” Maximilian Buja, M.D., dean of The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, added, “Juanita Romans has gained my respect and the respect of many other faculty and private physicians at Memorial Hermann Hospital based on her broad knowledge of the health care field, her leadership abilities and her interpersonal skills. Her extensive and varied experience, including work at other academic medical centers, will hold her in good stead as she assumes the CEO role.” Greg Harb has been appointed vice president and chief operating officer at Memorial Hermann, effective Feb. 9. Harb fills the role vacated by Romans when she was promoted earlier this month. Harb joined Memorial Hermann Healthcare System in May 1995 and has served as assistant vice president of operations at both Memorial Hermann Memorial City and Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospitals. He holds a master’s degree in health care administration from Washington University School of Medicine and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Memphis.
