In response to El Camino Hospital CEO Lee Domanico’s recent resignation, Board of Directors Chairman Dr. Edward Bough appointed himself and immediate-past Board Chairman Mark O’Connor to the subcommittee in charge of administrative transition during the search for a new chief executive officer. Bough also appointed himself and Director Wes Alles to the subcommittee in charge of searching for a new CEO.

“We will be meeting to make a recommendation to the full board regarding hospital administration during the interim period and search for a new CEO,” Bough said. “We intend to provide the community and the hospital family with an update on our plans sometime between now and Mr. Domanico’s Jan. 8 departure date.”

O’Connor said, “Mr. Domanico leaves El Camino in excellent shape. While transitions are always challenging, I am confident that the physicians, staff, executive team and volunteers will continue to work together to make El Camino the outstanding hospital the community has come to expect.”
