Brant Cox, MBA, will be stepping away from the role of Interim CEO of EVMS Medical Group to focus exclusively on his position as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

โ€œWe offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Cox for his recent service as Interim CEO of the EVMS Medical Group,โ€ Alfred Abuhamad, MD, President, Provost and Dean of the School of Medicine says. โ€œMr. Cox stepped forward after the departure of our previous CEO to provide critical leadership and stability during a time of significant transition at Eastern Virginia Medical School and the EVMS Medical Group.โ€

With Mr. Coxโ€™s help, EVMS recruited Seth Sharpe as Interim Chief Operating Officer for the medical group. As Mr. Cox moves out of the CEO role, Mr. Sharpe will oversee day-to-day clinical operations working in conjunction with Dr. Barry Strasnick, EVMS Medical Group Medical Director, who will assume an expanded leadership role within the medical group.

โ€œPlease join me in thanking Mr. Cox for his impressive leadership and for providing much-needed stability for our clinical service lines during this transitionโ€ says Dr. Abuhamad. โ€œWe look forward to his outstanding work continuing within the Office of the President to help us ensure a successful affiliation and integration process with ามต้ิฐสำฦต.โ€
