Two Big Announcements From Clear Lake Regional Medical Center

The latest news from Clear Lake Regional Medical Center is that Michael Ehrat, Chief Operating Officer of Skyline Medical in Nashville is now former Chief Operating Officer of Skyline and is new CEO of Clear Lake Regional Medical Center's Mainland Medical Center campus. Michael has been with HCA for fifteen years, five of that spent in his Nashville role.

“I am looking forward to joining the talented leadership team, physicians, employees and volunteers at Mainland Medical Center,” Michael said. “Health care is evolving every day and there is a lot of challenging work ahead. It will be an honor to work with and become a part of the community we serve and ensure [Mainland Medical Center’s] commitment to continued quality care.”

Michael is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, was vice-president of the board of directors of the Judith C. Crosby Neuroscience Foundation in Nashville and served as chairman of the school board of Our Savior Lutheran Academy in Nashville.

In other announcements, Jeff Sliwinski, HCA Gulf Coast Division Chief Financial Officer, has announced that Bryan R. Lee is the new CFO at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center and Mainland Medical Center campus. Bryan was CFO for nine years prior at HCA's Kingwood Medical Center. He has twenty-seven years of experience in financial leadership roles, in urban, community and teaching facilities, along with corporate Internal Audit experience.

“I am very excited and honored to be selected as the next Chief Financial Officer for Clear Lake Regional Medical Center and Mainland Medical Center,” said Bryan. “The southeast Houston market is full of many opportunities and I am ready to help make meaningful contributions to assist in meeting the healthcare needs of the communities in the area.”

Bryan's transition from Kingwood to Clear Lake Regional is actually a strategic move to replace Jeff, a thirteen-year veteran at HCA, who was recently promoted to his role of Gulf Coast Division CFO.

Jeff says Bryan's leadership and financial acumen "has been instrumental in the success of Kingwood Medical Center and we are looking forward to Bryan’s significant contributions to the continuing success of our organization.”

Bryan received his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, and his Master of Business Administration from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountant, Healthcare Financial Managers Association and serves his community on the Board of Directors at the Lake Houston YMCA and as a Junior Achievement Volunteer.

Congratulations to the three of these fine gentlemen.
