9/17/14 - An executive director has been named to oversee operations and a revitalization program at two Livingston County health facilities. Brynt Ellis has been appointed executive director of St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital and St. Joseph Mercy Brighton Health Center. Ellis will be responsible for daily operations but will also play a role in the renovation and expansion efforts taking place at both locations. A $25 million revitalization program was launched recently to add private patient rooms and expand the surgery center at St. Joseph Mercy Livingston hospital while developing a new short stay service that includes a 28-bed unit at St. Joseph Mercy Brighton. It will be led by physicians and provide overnight care for outpatients who require extended treatment and recovery. Ellis brings a background in both nursing and large scale project management; a combination that officials feel will be beneficial and enable him to ensure the upgrades at the local facilities are well-designed. Ellis says the innovative health care options will complement the comprehensive services already provided by St. Joe's locally but also position Livingston County well to meet the health care needs of the growing population. His new executive director role will be effective October 13th. (JM)
