MAYWOOD, IL – Sarah Hunter, MHA, has been appointed as the new president of Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, effective Sept. 21.

Sarah is a transformational health care executive with a deep history at Loyola Medicine. From 2012 to 2019, she held progressive leadership roles at MacNeal Hospital, beginning as an administrative fellow and advancing to director of business operations. She then served as director of hospital operations at Gottlieb from 2019 to 2021, where she oversaw procedural, ancillary and community-based departments. During that time, Sarah played a pivotal role in COVID-19 response and helped launch key health equity initiatives.

Most recently, Sarah served as chief operating officer at Northwest Health in Valparaiso, Indiana, where she led significant growth in procedural volume, introduced new service lines and established the system’s first residency programs. Her leadership is defined by collaboration, innovation and a deep commitment to mission-driven care.

“We are confident that Sarah’s operational expertise, her dedication to community health and her deep understanding of our organization will be instrumental in guiding Gottlieb into its next chapter,” said Shawn P. Vincent, president and CEO of Loyola Medicine.
