CHAPEL
HILL, N.C. – Dr. William L. Roper, dean of the UNC School of Medicine
and CEO of the UNC Health Care System, has appointed W. Alan Stewart
interim chief financial officer for UNC Health Care, effective March 15.
Stewart will serve in that position while a national search is undertaken to identify a permanent appointee. The interim CFO will oversee financial services for UNC Health Care and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Stewart will work closely with UNC Hospitals Chief Financial Officer Charles Ayscue and financial officers of Rex Healthcare, UNC Physicians & Associates and the UNC School of Medicine.
“I am pleased that Alan Stewart will once again be joining our ranks,” Roper said. “His previous service at both UNC Hospitals and Rex Healthcare has positioned him well to hit the ground running and help keep UNC Health Care’s financial affairs in order through this transitional period.”
Stewart was the chief financial officer for Rex Healthcare in Raleigh from April 2001 until his retirement in January 2004. Prior to joining Rex, Stewart was chief financial officer for the Moses Cone Health System in Greensboro, N.C., from October 1997 until March 2001.
He served as chief financial officer of Wesley Long Community Hospital in Greensboro from September 1993 until September 1997, when Wesley Long merged with Moses Cone. Before joining the staff at Wesley Long, Stewart spent 10 years as associate director of fiscal services at UNC Hospitals, from 1983 to 1993. Stewart has also worked in public accounting and held positions in the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Air Force.
Stewart is a graduate of Fairmont State University in Fairmont, W.V., and is a certified public accountant. He and his wife Kay have one son, Grant, who lives in Wilmington, N.C.
