Two top administrators at Covenant Health have been named to Becker’s 100 Hospital and Health Systems CMOs to Know in 2017. Dr. Craig Rhyne, regional CMO of Covenant Health; and Dr. Brian D. Schroeder, CMO of Covenant Medical Center, were both recognized as two of the top CMOs nationally.
Rhyne began his practice in Lubbock in 1991 and became regional CMO of Covenant Health in 2011. His previous leadership experience includes serving as Covenant Health’s chair of the trauma peer review committee and chair of the transfer committee. Rhyne earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
Covenant Health named Schroeder CMO in December 2016. He assumed the responsibilities of CMO at Covenant Medical Center and vice president for medical affairs at Covenant Children’s. Schroeder previously was the senior vice president of medical affairs and CMO at Lansing, Mich.-based Sparrow Health System. He earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
“As we celebrate nearly 100 years, Covenant Health is fortunate to have such remarkable leaders, who are recognized locally and nationally,” said Richard Parks, regional CEO of Covenant Health. “This national recognition certainly reinforces the fact that we do have the brightest minds and biggest hearts leading our Christian ministry of healing in West Texas and eastern New Mexico.”
