Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake has new leadership, effective April 1.

In an earlier news release from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, it was announced that Mark Kettner will become the interim chief executive officer for Eastern State.

Kettner assumed the position after current CEO Dorothy Sawyer retired from state service at the end of this month to pursue other opportunities. She has been at the helm of Eastern since August 2013 and oversaw a number of activities including successful accreditation of the hospital with the Joint Commission and its passing of a full Centers for Medicaid Medicare Services (CMS) survey.

Kettner brings nearly 30 years of experience working in a variety of health care settings and since 2014, has served as the chief administrative/chief financial officer at Eastern State.

Kettner holds a bachelor of arts degree in business administration from Eastern Washington University and a MBA from Webster University. Kettner has served on various healthcare and social service related community boards and committees over the past several years, including the Empire Health Foundation Board and the Board of Trustees for Hospice of Spokane.

DSHS will be working on filling the position permanently in the near future.
