The Sisters of Charity Health System today announced that president and CEO Janice G. Murphy, MSN, FACHE, has decided to retire in 2024 after six years of dedicated service. She will step down once her successor has been appointed.

Murphy first joined the Health System in 2018 as senior vice president of mission and ministry. In 2019, she became president & CEO of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, leading it through the COVID-19 pandemic. She then took on her current role overseeing the entire Health System in 2021. Murphy focused on advancing the Sisters of Charity's mission and preserving their legacy of compassionate care.

"I am profoundly grateful to have led the Health System and furthered the Sisters' legacy of love and care," said Jan Murphy. "The time has come for me to retire and make way for new leadership, but I am confident the values and work of the Health System will continue on."

To find the next president and CEO to carry this important work forward, Sr. Judith Ann Karam, CSA, congregational leader of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine and former president and CEO of the Health System, will chair the national search committee. The organization has engaged the executive search firm WittKieffer to identify qualified candidates.

"We thank Jan for her many years of excellent leadership and service to our Health System," said Sr. Judith Ann. "And we look forward to finding the next visionary leader who will build on our mission to serve the needs of our communities of Cleveland, Canton and South Carolina.”
