Southeast Texas hospital chain Memorial Hermann Healthcare System said Tuesday it tapped Craig Cordola to be Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center's new CEO. Cordola, formerly chief of Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, replaces Juanita Romans, who is retiring, the hospital group said.

"Craig is an accomplished and extraordinary leader with a passion for advancement in clinical excellence and a proven track record in hospital operations," Memorial Hermann's COO Chuck Stokes said in prepared remarks.

The Houston-based campus of the Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, where Cordola's taking up the reins, also includes the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, TIRR Memorial Hermann and the Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Texas Medical Center.
