Crossroad Co-Founder and CEO, Sally Stewart, is Retiring

 

           Crossroad Health Center today announced the retirement of its co-founder and CEO, Sally Stewart, effective May 31, 2014. The Board of Trustees has formed a Search Committee and engaged a professional firm to assist it in identifying a new CEO. Ms. Stewart plans to retire from the work force, travel with her husband, and spend time with family and outside pursuits.

   

            Ms. Stewart co-founded Crossroad with a handful of  others in the early 1980's, and moved to Over-the-Rhine in order to better understand the needs of the community. After 7+ years of planning, she was one of the incorporators of Christian Community Health Services, Inc., the faith-based, non-profit entity that operates under the Crossroad name, in 1990. She has been its CEO since that time, leading Crossroad from a tiny two-room facility in a former school building to its current status as a Federally Qualified Health Center with three locations, over 22,000 patient visits in 2013, and a large and diverse staff of medical professionals.

 

            "Sally exemplifies and personifies the mission of Crossroad - humbly and professionally serving our community's poor in the name of Jesus through top-level health care services," said Crossroad Board Chairperson Janet Germann. "She has been the role model since 1983 for the entire Crossroad family of professionals and volunteers. She has poured out herself for the mission of Crossroad and its patients. We cannot thank her enough. We celebrate with her the opportunity to spend time with her family and other interests outside of work."
