Ruthita J. Fike, CEO and Administrator of Loma Linda University Medical Center, has announced her resignation, effective July 1, 2014. Ms. Fike has served in her role since 2004. As CEO and administrator of the 1,076-bed Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), Ms. Fike has provided oversight of the Medical Center, LLU Children's Hospital, LLU Behavioral Medicine Center, LLUMC - East Campus, LLU Heart and Surgical Hospital, LLUMC – Murrieta, and various signature programs such as the International Heart Institute, and the James M. Slater, MD Proton Treatment and Research Center. In a statement of appreciation for her leadership over the past decade, Dr. Richard Hart, President of Loma Linda University Health (LLUH), said, “Ruthita’s strategic and operational skills have been a crucial part of the growth of Loma Linda University Health over the last decade. She is leaving a legacy of innovation that will help us fulfill our mission to continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ for many years to come.” Ms. Fike expressed her confidence in the future of Loma Linda in a letter released to the LLUMC leadership team. “The work and care of Loma Linda is truly one of the most important ways in which God is blessing our world through the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and I am so grateful for the ten years I have been a part of the Loma Linda family. As I review in my mind the projects that we have taken on during this time, I am convicted once again that God is guiding this organization.” LLUH is embarking on the next phase of its ongoing strategic plan for growth, greater integration, and enhanced efficiencies. A search for new leadership will begin soon.
