Sinotte leaving UPHS

MARQUETTE, MI--   The leader of UP Health System is leaving his post. 

Market president of UPHS and CEO of UPHS-Marquette, Brian Sinotte, will step down, effective June 21. He’s moving with his wife to Chicago, where he’s accepted another post.

“The decision to leave my role at UPHS was a very difficult one, but the right one for Jessica and me right now,” said Sinotte. “I am honored to have been part of UPHS and the Upper Peninsula for the last three years. Across this region, UPHS has a wonderful team of dedicated employees, physicians and volunteers with a genuine commitment to advancing the health of their communities. I am proud to have been able to call myself one of them and confident that they will continue to flourish and thrive long after my departure.”

Sinotte has served as CEO of UPHS–Marquette since August 2016 and market president of UP Health System since February 2018. He will remain with UPHS through the Marquette hospital’s move into its new facility, set for June 2.

An interim replacement will be named soon and a national search for a permanent leader has been initiated.
