Dr. Lichtenberger joined Centura Health in 2020 as Group President of Physician Alignment with a focus on strengthening and expanding the medical group. He brings more than two decades of health care expertise to Centura, including extensive experience in clinical leadership and strategy with the worldwide management consulting company McKinsey & Company. As a Partner at McKinsey, he led strategy and operations engagements with leading health systems across the country – including many large-scale transformations.
Centura is also pleased to welcome Shauna Gulley, MD to the role of Group President for the Physician Enterprise effective today, August 8, 2022.
