Transition

Michael L. Gustafson, M.D., MBA, the president of Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital since 2015, has been named the president of UMass Memorial Medical Center, effective September 1. Eric Dickson, M.D., president and CEO of the medical center’s parent company, UMass Memorial Health Care, announced Gustafson’s appointment last Wednesday. The former medical center president, Patrick Muldoon, retired from his post at the end of January 2018. Since then Jeff Smith, M.D., J.D., has served as interim president. When Gustafson assumes the presidency, Smith will return to his previous role of COO of the UMass Memorial Medical Center. Gustafson is currently a member of the MHA Board of Trustees.  He received his M.D. degree at West Virginia University and completed his general surgery residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
