MEMORANDUMTO: XXFROM: Todd Salnas, President, St. Joseph Health
Sonoma CountyDATE: June 17, 2015SUBJECT: Interim Chief Nursing
Officer
I am pleased to announce that effective June 18, 2015, Sharon
Tourville, MSN, RN, will serve as interim chief nursing officer for
St. Joseph Health Northern California region. Sharon will serve in
this role until a permanent chief nursing officer is selected to
replace Tiffany Oliver, who is leaving St. Joseph Health Sonoma
County to serve for another organization.
With over 25 years of nursing leadership experience, Sharon is
known for her fiscally responsible style and flexible nature, which
has resulted in operational efficiency and positive patient care
outcomes. She holds an Master of Science degree in Nursing
Administration from the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, and
a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Viterbo University in
La Cross, Philadelphia.
Prior to her position at St. Joseph, Sharon served numerous
interim roles, including executive advisor of Patient Experience at
the University of California Davis Medical Center; director of
Oncology Services at Providence Portland Medical Center, Portland,
Ore.; director of Patient Care Experience at Kaiser Permanente
Walnut Creek Medical Center; and director of the Emergency
Department at Sutter Memorial/General Hospitals in Sacramento,
among others. Her permanent roles have included COO/CNO at
Childrens Hospital of Michigan and senior vice president of Patient
Care Services at CA Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.
Please join me in welcoming Sharon to her new interim role.
Currently, executive search firm Witt/Kieffer is seeking our
permanent CNO replacement. As early as next week, they will meet
with Administration, Nursing, and physician leadership so they can
provide job specifications and context for the search.
In the meantime, I have the utmost confidence that Sharon will
provide skilled guidance during the interim period, ensuring our
work remains in concert with our mission, vision and values.
