Head of UMC stepping down

University Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Barnard is leaving his post, the Review-Journal has learned.

Barnard was appointed as interim CEO in January to replace Brian Brannman, who had resigned for a vice president job with Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican, which has three Las Vegas Valley hospitals.

Barnard started at UMC in August 2012 and was the public hospital’s chief operating officer before ascending to the top position.
