Brian Brannman, until Wednesday the vice president of operations for Dignity Health Nevada and CEO of St. Rose Dominican, Siena campus, has been appointed to lead the nonprofit company’s Nevada operations.

When Brannman, then CEO of University Medical Center, was hired in January 2014, he was designated as the successor to Rod Davis, senior vice president of operations for Dignity Health Nevada, who retired last week.

Brannman remains the president and CEO of the Siena campus. Dignity Health Nevada includes three acute-care hospitals, five primary- and specialty-care clinics, two surgical clinics, two ambulatory surgery centers, a home health and hospice program, three women’s centers, and three outpatient imaging sites.
