Adventist Health has appointed Doug Long as president of Dameron Hospital in Stockton, Calif. Long will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the hospital, ensuring that quality patient care is provided, and that the financial integrity of the hospital is maintained. Dameron Hospital is currently managed by Adventist Health.

Long, who began his new role on Feb. 26, is returning to Adventist Health. He previously served as Business Development Executive, contracting with vendors, establishing partnerships, and coordinating integration into system operations. He also assisted in the transition of the organization from federated model to shared services model. Prior to his work at Adventist Health, Long held leadership roles at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center in Los Angeles and Riverside Community Hospital.

“We welcome Doug to the Dameron Hospital leadership team,” said Eric Stevens, President, Adventist Health Northern California Network. “Together, Terri Day and Brooke McCollough have navigated the complex healthcare challenges facing Dameron and Adventist Health Lodi Memorial in recent years. This new leadership model adopting the “network” approach will keep both Adventist Health Lodi Memorial and Dameron Hospital working closely together. We are excited to develop a new leadership model with a dedicated executive at Dameron Hospital as it continues to grow to best serve our community.”

“I’m looking forward to getting back into a hospital and being closer to clinical care and serving communities,” said Long. “I am grateful for all the support during my transition and excited to embrace any challenge to help patients receive the care they deserve.”
