New president for Saint Joseph Hospital selected

By Scott Peek, Front Range Market President

After an extensive and collaborative search with leaders across the Peaks Region and Front Range market, I am pleased to announce that Amy Blasing will join Intermountain Health as the new president of Saint Joseph Hospital on Monday, July 28.

Amy is a healthcare leader with more than 30 years of experience who began her career as a nurse. She is deeply committed to providing a quality experience both for patients and for those who care for them and brings a compassionate, people-centered approach to leadership.

Most recently, Amy was the chief executive officer of Lovelace Westside & Lovelace Women’s Hospitals of Ardent Health/Lovelace Health System in Albuquerque, NM. During that time, her accomplishments included developing strong relationships within the healthcare community and recruiting provider groups, driving significant improvement in HCAHPS scores by implementing a culture of trust, transparency and safety, and exceeding financial performance targets. Additionally, Amy holds a Master of Science in Nursing Administration and is FACHE certified.

Amy shared that she was drawn to this position because of the impeccable reputation Saint Joseph Hospital has for delivering high-quality, compassionate care. She’s very excited to join an organization with such a long history of caring for the community and plans to spend her first 100 days getting to know caregivers and providers and developing relationships in the community.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys traveling, the outdoors, crafting and trips to theme parks. She and her husband are proud parents of three grown children and share their home with three golden retrievers, Dug, Kevin (she’s a girl!) and Russell, all named after characters from Disney’s “Up."

We are excited that Amy is joining Saint Joseph Hospital and feels a strong connection to our mission and the collective calling established for us by the Sisters to serve the Denver community. She is well positioned to lead this organization that has proven to be an essential part of the state’s fabric for more than 150 years, through the next chapter of its very bright future. Please join me in welcoming Amy to the Saint Joe’s family!
